I’ve been there.
If you like throwing money away, keep playing. My dd had her best year her last year. But after numerous injuries she decided it was more important to be a teen before she goes to college.
She does have a job, but it’s fast food. I would have preferred her to quit two years earlier but she wanted to play with friends.
Over time, those friends dropped out also. Our situation sounds a lot like yours.
Coaching meh, no college opportunity (at a school she’d prefer to attend)
I’m relieved she’s done. Spent too many years having only an identity of a soccer player. Now she’s a 17 yr old girl with diversified interests.
She even quit hs for senior year. Tired of that garbage too, especially with DA taking almost all of the best players.
