my dad is a basketball coach for a high school team. he is also my basketball coach. im 13/F. anyways, he is always forcing me into sports. i think i found a sport that i really love, but he wants me 2 be involved in atleast 2 at a time. thats not fair bcuz i want to practice volleyball and improve in it instead of basketball. ive tried to get out of it. even my mom is tryin to get my out of basketball but he just wont let me out. what do i do?

I had the same trouble with my Dad and Im still struggling with it today.. escpecially with school sports! Ask him why he wants you to to do so much when you dont really even put effort into it. If he just wants you to stay in shape offer him a deal that you will go to a nearby workout place (like the YMCA) for som many times a week. Try that and see how that works!

Just tell him how you feel. Have a deep dicussion with him, about how you feel about it, and see if you can come up with a comprimise or some kind of common grounds.
K3587 answered Sunday November 7 2004, 12:53 pm: You need to have a serious talk with your dad. He's thinking too much about his job, more than he's thinking about the toll it takes on you. I'm guessing you're still in middle school, so doing 2 sports at once isn't SO bad...but once you get to high school you can more or less forget about that. Explain to your dad that when you get to high school, 1 sport will be stressful enough. If you only take 1 now, and improve upon it, you'll be a lot better next year.

Try convincing him you shuld practice one sport at a time so yu dunt get mixed up n run out of energy!!.. Sit him down and tell him how you fell. Most parents will let there kids out easily if they feel how hurt or upset they r with sumthin!
