I am fat. I am a high school sophomore in a AAA private school in Mississippi. I played football last year, but got almost no playing time and nearly ruined my grades by having so little time out of practice and school. I am considering not playing again because my GPA is suffering and by staying until 5 and 6 PM I have no "me" time after about 4.5 hours of homework. Can someone give legitimate pros and cons of why or why not to keep playing? Thanks!I am fat. I am a high school sophomore in a AAA private school in Mississippi.

well first, you need to focus on your grades... second you need to do something you enjoy doing.. ask yourself do you truly enjoy playing football? do you see yourself playing as a senior? are you able to balance it out and pull up your grades? are you capable of putting in your time and effort to succeed? do you have classes with any of your teammates that can help you? do you think you can have you "me time" on weekends? if you answered "yes" to 98% of this, you should stay in sports

If you need to get strangers on the internet to decide for you, you probably should quit sports.
