What do you give up for your sport? Do you think it's worth it?

I don't really give up anything for my sport [tennis] except for time. I mean, I miss a lot of school for tournaments and stuff. But I don't really consider that sacrificing anything. It's definitely worth it.

I had to give up Journalism cause tennis tournaments had me leaving early for school. Oh well, I'd rather do tennis. I had to give up other sports for tennis too...I was a swimmer.

Well, tennis doesn't force me to drop journalism; I manage to skip practices whenever we have a major deadline. |

I had to give up most of my time, hanging out with my friends, and my only AP class. it was kinda worth it (the AP class), but not so much the friends part

I give up having any sort of life outside the studio, I'm there at least 4 hours a day, six days a week. 8 hours on saturdays. My joints and muscles are beyond screwed up from ballet. There's no hope of a normal sense of body image either, but it's all worth it.

i gave up:
my best friend since 2nd grade, a trip to the philippines, multiple family parties, lots of leisure time, trips to disneyland, a speaking part in the school play, an A in English (if i had more time to do homework, i often sacrificed my english homework. i currently have a C.), and i'm in between social groups (my cheer friends and my theater/choir friends), so I basically don't feel like i have any close friends since i don't really like the people on my team, and i can't hang out with my theater friends since i'm at cheer. that's all i can think about right now... and considering we basically fell on our face at competition in Florida (which we traveled all the way from California to go to.) no. not worth it. |

I'm not in any sports this year, but my school is very sport oriented. We have a ton of state first place trophies. I never understood why people would physically get hurt so many times and still play the sport. That's a sacrifice, right? Sacrificing your health? One of the girls I know has broken so many bones and even dislocated a vertebra in her neck and was in a neck brace, yet still had plans on playing again.

A lot of time and energy. Also, it sucks seeing people pass by even when they're doing nothing because you want to chill too. But whatever, I'm going to a champ.

I give up my summer for football and then I play a sport every season so it doesn't get any better. I end up starting football as soon as school ends. I miss a lot but I still have some free time so it's not all that bad. Kinda worth it I guess.

Time is a big one. After school I stay after for 3 hours every day during x country and track season. Then there's the meets, too. And when we travel out for exchanges, I miss 1-2 days of school + an entire weekend, sometimes. Is it worth it? Yup.  I've made friends in the team so it's not like I'm socially depressed. Plus... as long as I manage my time well, all my hw gets done and my grades are still up. |

I had to give up playinf softball, which I played for 10 years, and I was pretty good, for motocross. It just took up too much time, and I couldn't halfass anything. I don't get to see my mom the weeks and weekends we're gone for races, because she doesn't go.
