    My parents made me quit dance a yesterday. I love it so much. And it’s been really hard on me but they think God is saying to quit? How do I deal with being super upset?

    I just decided to quit my sport yesterday, and I’m devasted , the was so much more i wanted to do but this injury doesn’t let me even move for more than 5 min i tried rehab for months but it just isn’t helping , so yesterday i took the call to end it because now it just seems impossible, i waited 3 years for me to be okay but it’s still the same, it’s just devastating, ive spent 11 year’s in this game and this is not how i thought it would end, i feel like I’ve lost who i am as a person and i have no idea what to do now, it hurts so much

      Hello Shruti, I am in a very similar situation to you. Have done all of the rehab for years as a soccer player and nothing has helped. How have you dealt with this problem since then?

    It wasn’t a sport exactly but…who needs a tuba player? I wasn’t great but I loved marching band, the parades, the whole team spirit, and I could whip out a chromatic scale in a playoff challenge like nobody’s business. (At least that’s how I remember it.) We ran laps for conditioning, lifted weights to handle our heavy metal..it’s twenty years later and I walk into work, hear the warm up drills from the high school, and really just want to be there. Band nerds seldom have a place to go. I’ve tried taking up running but it’s not the same.

    Didn’t even have a medical leave for hockey, I just aged out of it. I would bug my parents to let me play hockey and when I was 11 they finally did, and I was good at it. I played nonstop for 8 years and it’s all I thought about, but now that it’s gone I don’t know what to do. This post helped though and it was nice to read and relate to other people

        Did you get over it. I quit my sport today and I already feel weird and I don’t know what to do.

    Couldn’t agree more! It is definitely a distinct psychological transition and often a life crisis for the athlete. My son went through it and it was very difficult. He and I started a nonprofit that provides free resources and support services to medically disqualified athletes or any athlete who has a medical exit from the sport they love. If you want to connect, reach out via our website http://www.sidelinedusa.org. We can help your school’s permanently sidelined athletes in their transition process at no cost.
