Help how do I tell my father I want to quit soccer/football after 10 years of playing?
My father is a really big fan of soccer/football. How do I tell him I want to quit it? I have been playing it for 10 years now and it starts to get a little bit boring if you know what I mean...
The problem is that I don t know what I should do instead. My father doesn't want me to stay in the house all day and play video games, which is fully understandable. I would like to do something myself that isn't a team game, doesn't cost way too much, and is somewhat physical. I have thought of lifting, jogging/cycling. Do you have any suggestions?
Anyways, the real problem is that I have tried to tell my dad that the trainings are boring and yada yada. But he will just say something along the lines of: "Well, that's how it is"...-.-
How do I tell him I want to quit football? I don't want to disappoint him but I really don't like the sport anymore..
Please help and thank you! d:

I played for about 8 years. Then at 15, I moved on.. At the end of they day. It's your life, we change as we experience more, and you obviously just want to move on.. He'll just have to accept and respect your decision.. If you don't enjoy it, surely he'd prefer you do something you do like?.. Maybe swimming / yoga / running, try some sports out, find one that makes you feel amazing and alive. For me it's trail running, swimming and hiking. I scuba dive, too. Yoga is an amazing thing for your body and mind, especially if you're active. Just tell him straight, that you're not enjoying it anymore and you want to explore other sports.
Good luck.

Just be honest with him; I know you don't want him to be disappointed, but it won't kill him and it probably won't even be as bad as you're anticipating. Just tell him you're not into it anymore and you'd really like to try a less team-oriented sport like cycling, kayaking, or whatever, or maybe even martial arts.

My husband was a coach his whole life. Our son decided in high school he didn't want to play any longer. He told his dad, and his dad was fine with it.
