So if you don't know, I'm a freshman in highschool. I've played basketball since the 3rd grade. Our high school has about 180 or so people in the whole school. Since it's so small, we don't have tryouts for sports or anything and for our JV + Varsity team together we only have 12 girls. A girl got in an argument with another girl and she ended up walking out the door last night at practice. Anyway, basketball has been my life for the past 5 or so years. I've pushed my heart into it, my dad has paid for me to go to 1-1 coach over the summer. I've always wanted to go to a D1 college for basketball. The thing is, that lately I've just lost interest in basketball and business is now taking over in my mind. It used to be basketball > everything and now its business > everything. Don't get me wrong I do still love basketball, but I'm just losing my grip on it. Now that business has taken me over, I don't want to put as much work in basketball anymore. I continue to get yelled at in basketball and last night I made the whole team run by not catching a ball. The thing is, if I do quit the whole school will hate me and our JV won't even have a team. My coach will forever hate me, because in grade school I used to stay after school and shoot with him like every day. He put so much work into me. Overall, I'm a really great player but I just don't feel right anymore. It's really been stressing me out and overwhelming me. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I can't tell my dad how I feel because he wants me to go to college for basketball.
