I’m thinking about quitting basketball (vent)
The last 3 months have been my worst. I’ve been playing crap. I lost my starter spot, almost no playing time and now I’m not even called up to games. Its so infuriating it’s all probably mental but I’ve been thinking about just quitting basketball and to pursue Martial arts instead and weightlifting. I’m 16 years old and 5’11 so the odds of going pro is almost impossible. Basketball is also destroying my mental health. Like whenever I got practise I’m anxious and nervous and before games it’s even worse. I just feel like it isn’t even worth playing basketball when it’s just destroying my confidence and mental health. It’s sad though because all my friends like basketball and I feel like I’m betraying them if I’m quitting. My parents will probably also get mad if I quit. I used to love the game too. Anyone been in the same boat and got any advice?
