I want to quit my basketball team, but my dad won't let me?
I really..REALLY wanna quit the basketball team! Im on the verge of failing at least one class or skipping class just to get kicked off! Long story short, I wanted to join the team to try out a sport, and make new friends. I actually made the team! But, I suck REALLY bad, the teammates yell at me all the time, some of my team mates "hate" me, no one talks to me on the team, and I can't remember plays well. I told all of this to my dad, but he is telling me not to be quitter, and telling me to stop self-pity myself! He also is forcing me to play the whole season because he bought me new 80$ shoes for it, so he is getting his moneys worth! I also hate going to the games because all I do is sit on the bench! PLEASE HELP! What can I DO!?!??!
How can i tell my parents that i want to quit basketball?
Ok before you go telling me that ive made a commitment and i shouldnt quit now, let me tell you why i want to quit. I play high school basketball as a junior on varsity. Ive had alot of injury problems with my left leg since i was in 7th grade. first i had a compound fracture in my fibula and tibia during football season, luckily i did not have to have pins put in, yet my leg never really felt the same. Then freshman year i dislocated my left knee cap during basketball. A year later dislocated it again. and just recently i had surgery on it because i had a loose body floating in my knee because some cartalledge came loose after my last dislocation. To sum it all up, iv had alot of wear and tear on my left leg, and 5A dallas texas high school basketball demands alot out of us student athletes, and im not sure if i can take it anymore. im out of shape from sitting out because of surgery and im just not as good as i use to be, because of all these injuries. Can someone help me out?
How do I tell my basketball coach that I want to quit playing after 9 years?
Tell him or her straight up face to face.Many years ago, I quit a sports club after having been a member for seven years. I was young and didn’t have the courage to look my coach in the eye and tell him I was going to leave. One day, I just stopped showing up without saying a word. I still feel bad about that more than ten years later. Don’t make the same mistake as me.
I want to quit basketball but my parents wont let me?
Speaking as a parent, yeah I've been there. Your kid says he loves basketball, wants to play it all his life, so you spring for gear and camps and whatever. They two weeks later your kid decides he doesn't like basketball at all, he wants to learn to play guitar and become a rock star. So, Mom and Dad, can we put all that basketball gear in a closet, and will you buy me a Fender and an amp? And let me use the garage to practice? Asking you to finish out the season isn't an unreasonable request if your parents have made an investment in basketball. Quit blaming your slipping grades on stress. There are milllions of adults who wake up every day and go to jobs they hate. You're getting all stressed out because you have to spend a couple of hours a day playing a game. Grow up, suck it up, and finish out the season.
Parents won't let me quit basketball?
I'm going into 9th grade. I've been playing basketball and lacrosse since 2nd grade. I want to quit basketball and only play lacrosse my parents won't let me, they said if I quit basketball they won't let me play lacrosse (which I think is retarded) I hated my last season of basketball, it was boring and my team didn't like each other at all. I want to play lax and only lax I'm good at both sports but again they said if I quit basketball they won't let me play lax. I have all a's and b's if that has anything to do with it. How can I convince them to let me quit?
I suck at playing basketball. should I quit it?
Your heart is just not into it anymore.Talent and perseverance will only get you so far without genuine PASSION. If you’re in the game but “the lights aren’t on upstairs,” meaning that you’re not really interested in the process or the outcome, are distracted with thoughts about other things in your life, are no longer having fun and basically can’t wait for it to be over, then maybe this just isn’t the sport for you, and that’s okay .Don’t stay in it because of pressure from other people, or because you want a reason to do what your friends are doing.Life is too short for that! If you don’t LOVE the sport or don’t CRAVE to do your best at that particular endeavor, then find something else that you will feel that way about.Maybe it’s another sport! Lots of athletes start out in one sport and then later, find more enjoyment in another.If you choose to quit, then do it with pride knowing it was for the right reasons.All the best for your future ..Follow me for more enlightening answers in future ..Tharshini Ramesh <^>
How do I convince my parents to let me quit basketball?
Ever since 4th grade, my parents have wanted me to play basketball for my school. My grandfather has some sort of sportsmanship award associated with our school and so my dad wants me to be a part of it. My mom just wants me to do something because she thinks if I don t do basketball, I won t do anything. You might say "Just ask them to let you play another sport." But the thing is, I m just not cut out for stuff like that and I don t like sports in general. You might also say it s good for me and it ll keep me in shape, but I actually like working out often and I m easily one of the fastest people on our team and in our entire school because of my own training. In other words, sports aren t what s keeping me in shape. I m staying in shape through will power and hard work alone. I know staying in shape isn t all that sports are good for. They can also teach you to work in a group and cooperate with other people. But the thing is, I usually like working alone and depending on myself. I hate dragging other people into situations I can handle myself. But all and all, I don t need sports for anything and I m not cut out for them anyway. But I don t know how to convince my parents that that s the case. Any suggestions?
How do I convince my parents to let me quit basketball?
I hate basketball so much. I hate it with a passion. I hate it so much I'd rather endure 2 hours of torture than go to practice. It's not that I'm bad at it, it's just that I hate it SO MUCH. My parents made me sign up for it and I've resisted and complained every step of the way. I just think it's the worst, most boring sport that ever existed. AND I HATE IT. How do I convince my parents that I WANT and NEED to quit?!
