dont know how to quit my sports team
i just joined my sports team and we started our workouts for the summer three days ago and we have only had 3 practices, my coach just sent out the emails saying i made the team but i was thinking about it and i really dont want to play... i really respect my coach and dont know how to tell her that i just dont want to play because i know i would bring the team down because i am just not good nor will i enjoy it. if you had any advice on how to tell her, if i should email or have a face to face convo, or just what i should say it would really help out thanks!

What are you really afraid of? Ask yourself. Your fears of failure and letting others down has nothing to do with the sports team. The thing is you may be quite good at this.
You had to be or the coach wouldn't have picked you. Think of the experience and good you would lose if you quit before even starting. Don't let anything stand in your way of doing and actually trying.
I would tell your coach face-to-face that you have problems with self-doubt and fear as well as letting people down and not being confident. That's what you will get to work on over the summer as you play.
I'll tell you something every last one of your teammates is dealing with this same irrational fear or something else when they play as well. They'll help you help each other to become good. Stick in there. You owe it to yourself. You'll son see,

Well if you made the team, then you must be pretty good and I suggest you just stay on the team. If you don't want to be on the team, then you should just be straight up about it but you need a good reason to back out, otherwise, there was no point in you trying out for the team in the first place. You should just say that you have other committed priorities over the summer. Email should be good enough. But honestly, I don't think you should quit a team just because you don't think you're good enough to bring the team to victory. You made the team, there's a reason you made the team and you should be happy :)

Now honey, you're just not making any sense! You said you were good enough to make the team but you're not any good at the sport?!!! It can't be both ways! Why in the world did you try out for a sport you don't enjoy? Are you sure you are not just over thinking this, losing your self confidence and then "imagining" how your teammates might feel? I think you need to talk to your coach and tell her your misgivings about it but I wouldn't throw in the towel just yet. Is this the type of sport that you could get in some extra practice time on your own? I really think you will be missing out on a wonderful experience if you never even give it a try. I hope you will at least consider it. If you have absolutely made up your mind not to do it then I think you should go face to face with your coach, thank her for choosing you and tell her the truth. Good luck!
