Get a degree. If you're good enough, you can get a scholarship to a very good school, rather than one of the D-1 "football factories" that are going to chew you up and use you for 4 years, and then spit you out when you're done and undrafted by the NFL. When that happens, they're not going to care that you don't have a chance of going to the NFL, and can't find a real job with the Physical Education degree you got by working out every day, while the other students were going to class and learning things they could actually use in the business world.

If you are that good then aren't you trying harder? The game might come easy to you because of your athletic ability, speed or size compared to your opponents.
My suggestion, being a high school coach and have played in college even though it was baseball, find it in yourself to get a great work ethic where you are the first one there last one to leave and work harder then any one else. You going to have to do that at the D1 level any way, might as well get used to it now! I know some people work hard but it doesn't show because they are head and shoulders over every one else.
Another thing to think about is, if you leave the school you are at now because of playing time, some recruiters might look at this as a sign that you will leave the college team if you don't play immediately and they might back out on recruiting you.
Ultimately, do what is going to make you happy. You have one year left in high school so make it your best!

It will be hard to get in a D-1 school with english like yours. Plus D-1 schools don't recruit people that don't play so you must be getting some playing time. They probably know you are capable of more and they are just trying to get that out of you. My advice to you is to stay after practice and work on your position drills. Ask the coaches what you can do to improve your game. Show them that you care and want to get better.

While I understand what you mean about feminine gay guys, (I don't find it very attractive) i think it is a little unfair to disregard someone for being feminine. While I wouldn't want to really date someone like that, it doesn't mean that they aren't nice people. You should still be friends with them, they're going through the same thing you are, and some of them might surprise you a little. :) Other than that, it's a pretty tall order. Finding anyone who's accepted they're gay/bi is difficult at our age, I can tell you :P And a straight acting gay guy tends to be very much in the closet, too. I think you should open your mind a little more, and I'm sure you'll find a guy soon enough. There are bound to be various gay guys at your school who are still in the closet.

It sounds like you might be a good player, but your coach thinks that you have a lot more ability then what you are giving. I think you need to put stick it out with your current team and not quit because things are a little hard. If you leave your shool you are just quitting on your teammates.
Your athletic talent might get you a D 1 scholarship, but your work ethic is what is going to get you playing time in college, because everyone that plays college ball is just as talented as you are.
Good luck!

How about you stop loafing and try harder?
Look, the work ethic you set for yourself now will stay with you the rest of your life. If you strive to get maximum results from minimal effort now, you'll ALWAYS look for that out of life. And that ain't good.
Cuz no matter HOW good you think you are now, there is ALWAYS someone better than you - especially if you're thinking about college ball - who HAS put in the effort and will not feel even the LEAST bit bad about kicking your ***.

well its simple, try hard. college will suck soon if you dont. i had to move because of my dads job from katy high school in texas which was a powerhouse in 5a to calallen in corpus which was a powerhouse in 4a... its a lil tough going into a new school, coaches dont know anything about you. i was all state and it still took me 2 games till i started. i would say stay where u are and talk to your coach tell him you are ready to change and really change for the good. work hard and go all out between the whistles i promise even more d1 will notice you if you hustle.

First off, you may want to concentrate on your education, judging from the content of your submission. It's not good to rely on your "athletic ability" only". All it takes is one bad hit and you will be flipping burgers for a living. If that does not satisfy you, maybe you should take your coach's advise and "try harder". Ask Terrell Owens about that one. Arrogance gets you nowhere.
