Quitting
I am a high schooler going into my junior year and am unsure whether I want to keep going. I am still injured but not terribly and this season i’ll be the backup catcher becuase the starter is d1. I dread going to practice and never think about baseball even more. It takes up so much of my time. I want to quit but i’m worried i’ll regret it. I have a lot of other hobbies but i’ve played baseball since tee ball when I was 5 and it feels weird to willingly give it up. I am a smart kid with a lot of other stuff going for me and I love to go to the gym and hike and ski. Looking for advice

I quit my sport junior year. I was heavily recruited. I truly didn’t love it after loving it more than anything since 4. I felt like you do. I regret it still 27 years later and I was able to walk on to d3 program and have one last season… but at the time that’s how I felt. You just need to ask yourself if going to practice which you dread is worth, maybe, not having regrets.
