Is all this pressure necessary? I 15 up leaving the football team. Four other girls did the same, and two of them stopped playing football completely. That’s 16 , because they had so much potential. They were just burned out with all the pressure they 17 from the coach or their parents.
I continued playing football at school and 18 my love for it. I joined a private team coached by my school coach. When I started playing 19 him, he told me I needed to relax because I looked nervous. After I 20 down, I played better. When you enjoy something, it’s a lot easier to do it well.
