My now 15 yo who made the freshman team last yr as an 8th grader just told me
That he doesnt want to play basketball this year. And I think he actually meant it.

It kinda crushed me.

He didn’t have a great experience last season...didn’t get a ton of PT. He said he just doesn’t want to work that hard again and not play. I can understand that. He is super skinny and gets out muscled a lot. We have been working on that.

He grew about 4 inches since last season, so I was expecting this To be a breakout season for him.

All he wants to do right now is play tennis. He would play literally 4 hours a day if we let him.

He plays a lot of sports, and I am a fan of that. But I also feel like he may be squandering his chance, since he is already in the system, and it is hard to break back in, if you change your mind.

I will support him either way, and I am trying to not visibly show my disappointment because it may push him further away. But maybe it’s ok if it’s not basketball. It’s his life, not mine.

Still, a little bit sad about it...

Parenting...uggh.
