Oh SHIT!

[Sordid Saint]

I quit football. I shouldn't have, but for some reason I wanted to. I just wanted to focus on my grades this year and everything, but I was the best lineman on the team (right tackle). Shit.

What's keeping me away is:
-Commitment to the game (which I don't think I'll be able to commit to with all the schoolwork I'll be getting)
-The conditioning. I only went to the gym twice a week during the summer so conditioning hurts like a bitch.
-It's my first year playing, so I don't know the plays, and as a tackle, I don't really know who to block on certain plays
-I kinda have stage fright with things like this. If I mess up in a game, I'll feel like shit.
-And I already quit. I think I'll look stupid coming back after one day of quitting and saying "Hey! I wanna play again!"

What makes me want to play again:
-All my friends play
-I was one of the best linemen
-It'll keep me in shape and make sure I don't slack off with my workouts.
-It was kinda fun minus the Indian Runs, Oklahoma drills, and foot buzzing.
-My school has one of the best (if not the best) football programs in the state.
-I like to hit stuff.


But like I said, I don't want to go back a day after quitting because I think that I'll look stupid.

I don't even know if they'll let me back on the team. This is how it happened. There's the main coach, who runs the whole football program, then there's other guys that coach different parts. I think it's 3 coaches per grade except for seniors because the varsity captains coach that. My friends want me to go back (especially the runningback since I was the a tackle/guard and damn good at it. )

He told me to think about it when I told him I was quitting, but I don't know if he meant right then or that I could come back if I wanted to.

I want to go back, but at the same time I don't...

Any advice?

you can go back to playing football, but you are just like my friend that does. he love playing and i mean is a total jock and that's all he talks about is his football which is fine by me BUT his grades are shit. :/ if your doing all right with your acedemics and not messing up too much then i say go on and play some foose-ball! :D good luck with all this bro. :)

Reading. It's too expensive though to live there anymore. I'm moving to Somerville in a few months, but my dad is staying in Reading so I can still go to the high school :cool:

We've won the championship a few years in a row, so we can't be bad. I don't think we're the best TEAM, but we have one of the best programs. BTW have you seen Malden's team? Friggin scary. I remember in Popwarner some kids had full beards not even on the highschool team yet.

Reading damn they gave us a hassle in Lax pre season. Malden is big and bad about everything. Right about now though I'd be more afraid of Glouscestor team

I've only gone to a few lax games. From what I could tell they were pretty good, but I don't really know a lot about the game so I didn't really know how to tell good from bad.

Reading is only good because we have really good equipment and stuff from the insane taxes we pay. We have 2 or 3 fields now at the highschool, and full weight rooms and gyms. It's crazy that we have all this stuff that we don't really need, lol.

I know dude I love playing there, but honestly no offense but most reading kids besides you are scrubs.

Yeah I know, I wanna punch half the kids on the team in the face most of the time.

I'm going back to football by the way. I guess it'll be fun.

[Rutherford The Brave]

Yeah dude it should be.
