I tried out for the basketball team in early November, and I made it. Great. But a month and a half into the season, basketball seems to have lost the thing that made me love to play it in the first place. Fun. I'm really hating coming to practice every day, running till my legs fall off, and it doesn't help that everyone else on the team is a cocky jackass who never do anything to help anyone; all they do is tell you how horrible you are. Even when I play in games, making a great play isn't fun anymore. It's also getting in the way of school, and pretty much everything else. But, I've always been taught to stay with something if you're committed to it. I'm really not enjoying myself, and basketball is actually making me more stressed than I already am, but the coach is a nice guy, and I don't want to disappoint him or my parents. What should I do?

Search your soul and go with what you feel in your heart. Remember you're a student athlete, and student is first and most important. Basketball is a part of life it's not life itself.

I think you should talk this issue with your coach or your parents. They'll help you out. On the other hand, in whichever team you played there's always these so called cocky-jackasses. Sometimes you just have to prove it on the court.
That also happens to me on my early days of playing basketball in my hood, sometimes you just have to suck it up and just bring your A game.
