When Should a Child Quit a Sport?

Coach Dungy shares when the right time is for a child to quit a sport

[MakeYouFeelBetterNow]

My advise to any kid reading this. Your parent can't and shouldn't force you to play a sport you don't like. Instead of quitting all sports, replace the sport you don't like with a sport you like. Playing sports and being active is very important and will help you a lot in life, especially later as an adult. Good luck!

I've played football for most of my life and its boring and my last team made my passion of football worse, I tried telling my dad I don't wanna play football but he instantly shot it down by saying It was the only option because of others, I said I wanted to do baseball before the season had started now he only cares about me living his life for him and tried to force me to do wrestling when I never showed interest on something he did when he was younger, I just wasn't to understood as a normal person instead of a kid who has no say, or answer to a problem. I just want to quit football and just have a normal life for once.

Haha I’ve been wanting to quit for 6 years I’ve pushed through now I have emotional trauma and a shit load of regret/self hate for staying with it because I feel I could’ve done so many other things with my time.

Still dont like playing football. Im happy when I don't play but still my dad doesn't care. He overexagerates my health and uses that as a way to force me into playing the sport i said i didn't want to play anymore. He is more enthusiastic about it then i am, its so obvious he's doing this just to see himself play but through his kid. I don't want to be a couch potato and i love the gym, but he doesn't care even if i presented that to him. By the time i am able to move out i think i might do it.

My dad got us into judo for a year when I was 7. Way too young . I didn't know what I was doing.

I’m trying to get better at baseball. I have been playing my whole life and this last season showed me how much I hate the sport every time I make a mistake I’m getting yelled at by coaches and the crowed so the reason I clicked on this video is to find any way to learn to like it I try so hard but it seems like if I’m not the best I am the worst and everything is my fault

I’m only in year 2 of playing american football and I wanna quit. I’m pretty good at it and last season we only lost 1 game, but I just don’t wanna do it anymore. It isn’t fun to me anymore. My mom signed me up for it randomly.
