I graduated in 1994. I played basketball, and softball all through my schooling years. I loved be active when I was younger and now that I'm older I wish I could play again everyday but do to my weight and health I can not play so I'm glad I had the chance.
My thought on you quiting....I really don't think you should cause you never know what the future might bring. Keep your spirits up and you will be fine. Playing sports if your gifted is the greatest reward that you can pass on to your generation when your older. Like getting MVP or anything better than that. Just keep playing and you will have a lot of great experiences to look back on.
Take care.

If football is something that you really enjoy -- you should do it. Hobbies often take a great deal of comittment -- especially when we have to be well trained to compete. If you quit, and start back up your senior year, you will have lost a great deal of your endurance and muscle tone -- if you think it's hard now, you'll wish you were dead in a year.

You sound like you are burned out on football, for now. Take a hiatis and tell the couch you want to sit out the rest of the season. You got a smart Mother, listen to her!

don't quit. try to rest after football practice and decide when u are not tired. yes, u might regret it in the future, but if u feel strongly about it and u are already burnt out....then do what u have to do follow ur instinct.

I agree that you sound like you're burning out. Listen to your mother: Even if you kept playing and went pro, you won't be able to play forever. It's what you stuff in your brain that will help you most.
Good luck!

You want, regret it! Study or learn to play a guitar!
