<p>I am a 3 sport varsity athlete: football, basketball, and baseball and currently a junior. But I don't love playing football anymore and find golfing really fun. I want to try out for the golf team for my senior year instead of football. Will this decision go against the way colleges look at me?</p>
<p>I play Golf (but here it’s a spring sport.) I tried playing football (spring ball conditioning) and at first I was a tight end, but I ended up with a freshman QB throwing to me and he was throwing the ball too far ahead and I couldnt keep up. Then I got moved to line, and wasn’t big/strong enough, did terrible for the next couple practices, and stopped going to spring practices. </p>
<p>Suffice to say, If I had the talent to play football I would. Golf is kinda fun but I dont really think im gonna play again.</p>
<p>Also I love the community of friends you get when you play football ( at least at our school). No other sport has such a close group. Almost all of my closest friends are football players so I feel out of place sometimes hanging out with them and other football players since Im not one of them. I dont know if you wanna give that community up.</p>
<p>Yeah I know what you mean about the community thing. Most of my friends are football players but do you think colleges will look at it as “quitting” or “trying something new”?</p>
<p>Why not do both? I do two varsity sports in the spring and two in the fall, and with a sport as non-intensive as golf I honestly don’t see why you can’t manage to do both.</p>
<p>Plus, I can’t imagine doing a sport all through high school only to drop it your senior year … senior year’s the best part, dude. Senior night, captain or similar privileges, etc… I mean if you really hate it then don’t do it, but you only have one year left … might as well go out with a bang.</p>
<p>If I were a boy, I would do golf considering how bad our football team is. I’m in the marching band, and I have to sit and watch every game, and this season, we have not won a game yet. I think they just might lose the homecoming game tomorrow.</p>
<p>At my school:</p>
<p>Football>every other team. Golf has like 0 support.</p>
<p>Doing two sports might be a good idea, depends on you. Some people at my school do that.</p>
<p>If its not a scheduling conflict do both. I think that unless you’re a captain or trying to get recruited then quitting wont matter.</p>
<p>Golf you can play for the rest of your life. It has much less risk of injury and I think would be more flexible on your time. If you are tired of football, I am sure there are many other things (including college applications) you could find do in your senior year.</p>
<p>I like football but golf is way classier</p>

<p>I was about to start laughing hysterically, but then i read the whole story, doing what you like is definitely the right thing to do in this situation…Buuut for the record, Football >>>> Every sport ever created or being created</p>
