How do I get my parents to let me play sports?
Well, its good to know about your interest.You know your parents better, but still in my personal opinion,I would recommend you to communicate to them your interests, the sport you love and your future plans and how will you make your career out of it. Also have a backup plan in case if you fail in the sport as this is their most concerned thing.Communicate to them with confidence, show them your skills and try to convince them. they are your parents and am sure that they will understand your requirements and interests.All you need is just their approval for one try. Once you get that, I think your skills, practice and interest will do the rest.
Can your parents force you to do a sport that you don’t want to play?
Well I believe that depending on your age, sure they can force you. But even that is only to a certain point within reason.I’ve witnessed this exact scenario going many different routes both as a youth observing my friends and classmates and later as an adult observing my adult parental friends or other distant family members.A1: The child eventually gives in and loves the sport.A2: The child eventually gives in and hates the sport and never performs “their best“.B1: The parent eventually gives in and doesn’t force the child.B2: The parent continues to push and they get a happy child (A1) or a resentful one (A2).
My parents want me to join sports?
I'm not a very athletic person. I love drawing and playing instruments but my parents are forcing me to playing sports just because my dad friends daughters are active . So he's forcing me to every sport ,I honestly hate sports. I just wanna do other stuff and not waste time on things I don't like. But I don't know how to tell him no.
Why do parents want their children to play sports?
There reasons can be innumerable. You learn to use your body more effectively, hand/eye coordination, body presence, leverage, and more. In team sports, you learn to work with and depend on others to achieve success. In collaborative team sports, like football, you learn that the individual is less important than the collective orchestration of the team.You also make friends, get exercise, learn how to take constructive criticism and act on it, and more.Why do we do it? Because experience in new activities, physical or mental, will develop our children more than sitting on the steps, twiddling their thumbs.
How do I tell my parents I want to quit a sport I've been playing for 7 years?
My feeling with my kids, who both did figure skating long term, was that I wanted them to give it 30 days before they quit. I didn’t want them to quit because a new jump was frustrating, or because they were having a bad week. Some of these sports are tough to leave and come back to, so I wanted to make sure they thought it through. Of course, exceptions were be made. One of my them decided she wanted to become a cheerleader, and made the squad, so she had to quit skating, and the other got tired of having injuries and wasn’t going to be able to compete in Regionals her Senior year because of it, so she left the sport until a year into college when she joined a collegiate synchronized skating team.Anyway, let them know you want to quit, but don’t be surprised if they want you to stick with it just a little longer to make sure you aren’t quitting on a whim. This means you should let them know soon.Who knows, maybe they will be relieved that you’re quitting - being a sports parent can be expensive and time consuming, and they may not be as into it as you think. They may also mostly enjoy the company of the other sports parents, but they don’t have to lose their friends just because you’re not doing the sport anymore.
My parents won't let me join a sport in high school.?
Compromise with them. Promise them that you will do everything possible to keep your grades up an follow through. If you start to see yourself slip, get help! Also point out to them that a sport opens up doors for scholarships in the future and that colleges are looking for well rounded students, and things like sports, clubs and volunteering look very good on college applications. Colleges don't want students who can ONLY bring an A+ to the table.
Parents forcing me to play sports?
I'm in 9th grade and my parents want me to try out for tennis. I've played for a while but never for a team. To be honest, I don't even think I'm that great. Instead, I want to join newspaper and orchestra and stuff. But my dad always says "You might as well not join anything." whenever I tell him what I actually want to do. What do I do?
I HATE sports and my parents are forcing me to do it!?
Thanks everyone for your answers and I asked my parents why jogging isn't good enough for them and they answered the following: Sport will make you make a success of your life one day and without sport you'll end up a loser. But now there's something I can't understand, both of them did sport in school and neither made a success of their life? We are in your average middle class financial circumstances and if that's their view of success in life then there must be something wrong with me because my idea of success is reaching all the goals you wanted to achieve in your life? O yes and by jogging I didn't mean jogging I meant like something small and fast that still gets you excersize
My Parents are forcing me to play a sport?
OMG i have the EXACT same problem....my dad has gotten me into playing softball and volleyball since i was 5 years old. im 14 now and he had finally told me i could play wat ever sport i wanted or choose to drop it all together, i decided i wanted to drop it but he ends up signing me up for the volleyball team anyway. when the game was on the line my team mates would talk to me, but once we were off the court it was like i didnt even exist....i would have quit but my dad would have just signed me up again PLUS i was one of their best players so i really had no choice XD AND i REALLY dont like the feeling of not finishing what i started :P. Volleyball seasons over and i finally thought i was free of all the drama when he figures he can force me into playing softball for the high school too. so now here i am starting the whole frustrating process ALL over again. hopefully your parents are a little easier to cooaperate with then my father.but the best thing i can figure is to tell them the reasons why u dont like the team. Blame the schools atheletic department for why you dont want to play basketball. But if that still doesnt work, what gets me through this problem is to think about how playing all these stupid sports is going to get me scholarships and into great collages oneday, so if all eles fails, just look on the bright side ^^ your friend Ella-Bella
