Quitting football can be even harder than getting started. This activity can bring great pleasure, but often, due to life circumstances, you have to make sacrifices and change your activities.
Instructions
Step 1
Think and highlight the main reasons why you need to quit playing football. They can be very different. The most common of these is having a health problem or injury. In this case, convince yourself that you stop exercising just for the sake of your health, so as not to harm the body. It is not necessary that you stop your favorite activity forever: the recovery period after an injury is always different, but perhaps after a while you will be able to play sports again.
Step 2
Decide what to do if you have to quit football due to urgent life circumstances. The daily schedule is constantly changing: someone moves to another place of residence, far from their favorite stadium, someone begins to study or work seriously, and there is simply no time left for sports. In this situation, you must decide what is more important to you: football or other life priorities? If the latter, then take a step towards them. At least you will have time to play football, and the chance to miss something important in life is very great!
Step 3
Convince yourself to stop playing football if your loved ones demand it. You may be spending too little time with your loved ones due to overly frequent matches and competitions. It is especially difficult in such cases for wives and children who find it difficult to go through long separations from a loved one and constantly think whether he will get injured in training.
Step 4
Try switching to another sport if you find it difficult to live without playing football, which you have stopped for any reason. Maybe at the moment you have the opportunity to play a similar sport, for example, basketball or handball. Of course, this will not replace your favorite football, but it will help you to get out of the habit and take a break from it for a while.
