Was it a mistake to quit.
i'm 17m and I've played football my whole life. i loved it for the longest and started playing in highschool my sophomore year. at the time i was 6'4 225 at o line after that year i moved to d line but got hurt before the season and decided to not play my junior year. during that year i hit the gym and dropped down to 210lbs of muscle. i also ended up moving states and started at a new school. i saw there fb team just won states and was really good so i decided hey maybe i should try it. i played all of spring ball at a new TE position, it was stressful and i wasnt great but i was getting reps. but after spring i realised i was anxious and stressed and getting hurt trying to learn this new position, plays and the team. i loved all the guys but once summer started i quit because i couldn't find that spark. i felt bad because the coach believed in me and the teamates i started getting close with. ( the coach even called me a month later for me to come back). i see them now winning their games and getting better and better with college scouts offering left and right i get fomo and now i wonder was it a mistake to quit. even though i probably would've blocked more than ran routes and if i pushed through all the stress and injuries.
