[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, but it's typically sex and/or drugs when teens abruptly quit long term activities. [/quote] oh GOD. NO. It's not. These kids that have been year-round travel teams since they were in early elementary are burned the fk out by high school and many just kept going for their parents, not themselves. This is such a natural age to drop that Club/travel sport. AND- the kid is still going to play high school for crying it out loud. He didn't drop it completely. The grind drove the passion out of it for him. I can't tell you the number of kids (TONS) that give up their childhood travel sport around 16 and it wasn't because they were doing drugs or depressed. They just got sick of devoting all of their free time to it and lost the passion/drive. My sibling played D1 and a short stint pro post college. He told me that by the time he was playing in college, he really had lost a lot of the drive.[/quote]
