It would be nice if you at least give it a try. You might grow to like sport.

If not YOU are your own person!.. Just say no that's not your thing and what you rather be doing. He can only respect that!

((( If you look at the BIGG picture him trying to push you to play a sport really COULD be a great thing))) You could get a scholarship into college and even become a pro athlete, even a major icon. Who wouldn't mind making $$$$millions$$$$!!!! (Let's not forget you will be very muscular, fit, and healthy if you do play! Ladies love athletes!)

I personally wish when I was younger I would have chose a sport or something and had someone by my side to push me.

Think long and hard about your choice.

Whoa...that's a difficult situation. I would be mature about the whole thing. I would try to get him when he's in a good, relaxed mood, and then casually bring it up in the conversation. Just start talking about how you feel. Perhaps you can say something like, "You know, I've really gotten into________ and I really enjoy it. I like it a lot more than (sport) and get a lot more out of it. I want to find an activity that will keep me active, but I don't really want to play "sports". I just don't find them enjoyable, ya know? Maybe I can try something like rockclimbing to keep me in shape. I just don't really like team sports. I hope you can understand." If you approach in a mature way, he's more likely to take it better. Good luck.

Not everyone comes into this world destined to play sport! He just needs a gentle nudge in the direction of does he consult with you; about what YOU want?! You may need some help; how's yr mum on this subject? Whatever, just bring some logic into it; and if he's got the point, he won't have unreal expectations of you - good luck with sorting this out

Tell him the truth. We went through this with my son and soccer. My husband wanted him to play when he was little and it was constantly a battle.

He didn't want to go to practice, when it was time to leave he could not find his shoes, or his bag,....you get the picture. Anything to delay having to go.

When the cards were finally laid out on the table, it was a huge relief for everyone. Now they build things and fix up old motorcycles, and go to a Tiger's game every once in awhile.

You should have a calm father son talk with him and tell him why you don't want to play and what your other interests are..
If he becomes upset(mad) when you first tell him, which he probably will, then just walk away and let him calm down!!
Good Luck!!

Say This: "Dad, I don't want to play sports".
I'm not entirely kidding, I'm a Dad and if you don't tell us how could we know?

just tell him what you fill. i do not know your dad so i do not know how he will react. maybe you just need to tell him the point of what you are really want to do in your life. i hope it will work.
