14/f. school starts wednesday the 6th and so does field hockey. this year i will be on the varsity team, but i'm not sure if i want to do field hockey again this year. every year i HATE going to practices, like i really do dread going to them. you have to run so much and the coaches are not nice at all, they dont' care if your tired or anything. but i LOVE the games. i just don't know what to do. like should i quit this year because i hate the practices so much, or should i continue because i like the games?
i played field hockey in 7th & 8th, and this year i'll be in 9th grade, which is my last year of middle school if that helps at all. thanks :]

myusername1 answered Wednesday August 30 2006, 9:25 pm: heyy i play field hockey too and yes, i HATE practices!! i hate running i hate drills i hate being yelled at. but when im on the field in a game its so exciting and i love it i also like being on a team and having people there for you, i try to take the coach seriously (even tho shes mean !! ) and try 110% always when you look like your trying your hardest they seem to go easier on you too. if this is really a passion maybe you should finish up your last year on varsity its really an honor to be on varsity and the season isnt very long so i would stick it out, tahts what im doing now hope i helped much luck <33 [ myusername1's advice column | Ask myusername1 A Question ]

It's also in your mind set, if you deciede ahead of time, this is going to suck && I know I'm going to hate it, your going to have any fun.
Deciede ahead of time your going to love it.
If you love it you should stick too it. If you hate it you should stop doing it && find something else you love. Life is too short for you to do something you hate.
But you are that age that if you do hate you can still quit && have no trouble finding something else.
