Does anyone who plays football ever just want to quit and just mess around like normal kid during the summer?

Question

I have been through just one week of two-a-days and I is killing me. I have had to weight lift and run for football since school finish in June. we had to weight lift all winter and spring too. Everyone is hanging out having a good time all summer long, but football takes up so much time. I still love football its just that I wish I could do the things other high schooll kids get to do/things we're not suppose to do.

Is it normal? Anybody else?

Answer 1

You could think of it in a positive way. If you have friends on your team, you are already spending time with your friends. You are keeping physically fit, which many adults spend hundreds of dollars a year on (between gym memberships, diet programs, personal trainers, etc). You are keeping out of trouble. If you really, really are still miserable, talk to your parents about it. But remember, a lot of those kids that are hanging out doing things you aren't supposed to do may give their left leg to be doing what you are doing.

i guess its normal....it wasnt that way for me.....i loved the game so much its what i wanted to do...it was fun to me, and i had a blast.but i also think it might have something to do skill level....i was a starter almost my whole HS career and was naturally good at the sport, you know, god given size and speed and all...but its work ethic and pure love of the sport that separates the great from the average.....i think you should do what you wanna do...maybe try taking off net summer off and see how you like it....

You know maybe you should quit football and eat peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches all day and not have to go to school and get fat..good times...good times.......
