Try this scenario...
On Saturday I go to football (soccer) training, in Saturday aftenoons I have a rugby match In the evening I have a drum lesson. Sunday morning I have a soccer match, followed by a lawn bowls game. In the evening I compete in the triple jump and long jump for the county., followed by another drum lesson in the evening. It is tiring me out! I have been offered a contract at Colchester United FC, a contract at Saracens RFC and I have been offered a call-up to the Ireland squad for a junior bows match. I am also potential Ireland international level jumper. I can't possibly do all four. I need help choosing which one (two max) do take on porfessionally and which two to drop. Please bear in mind that I am 15 and need to make a decision soon.

If you are 15 I think that the best person or people to ask are your parents. However, you proably need to look at which ever one or two will allow you the most time to continue your education. Ask any pro athlete, some day the ability will waiver and you WILL wish that you had an education. Good Luck with your decision.

Which activities do you enjoy the most? Which ones will most likely get you a scholarship if you want to go to college? I don't understand why you are taking two drum lessons per week. I think you could start by cutting that back to one lesson a week. I am a music teacher and it is very rare for a student to need more than one private lesson a week, but maybe you are talking about practicing with a band?
Personally, I would choose the drums because studies show that music is important to help keep your brain smart and active and I would also choose triple and long jump because if you are that good in them, you may be on your way to the Olympics!
Ever since high school, I have had to choose between my music or my running. I pretty much just go by which event was on the calendar first. Sometimes I have to miss a race that I want to do, because my orchestra is performing. Other times, I miss a performance because it lands on the same day as the Rock 'n Roll Marathon which I have run every year since it started.
