However, there are still a lot of people who view sports as a hobby and have no problem moving on, seeing their athlete days as more of a fond memory than a regret.]]> 2020-04-16 14:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/510769959 https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/510867724 I agree, whether it is easier or harder to move on will vary from athlete to athlete. If they are moving onto college, and then into a career for that sport, it's never really a goodbye, and the transition is easier. But, for those whose senior year was the last time they will play that sport for the rest of their lives, moving would be something that is very difficult to deal with.]]> 2020-04-16 14:45:43 UTC https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/510867724 https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/511032581 I think that even students who hated playing their sports might end up missing them at least a little bit, especially if they aren't going to play in college. They might miss their team members or how great it felt to accomplish things. As for students who loved playing sports in high school, I think that it would be very hard to move on with life and try to find other outlets.]]> 2020-04-16 15:48:20 UTC https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/511032581 https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/511038767 I think that most high school athletes that are really committed to their sport can agree that when you spend years of your life on doing something, when it is taken away or is done, it definitely takes some getting used to]]> 2020-04-16 15:50:45 UTC https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/511038767 https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/511132724 2020-04-16 16:28:45 UTC https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/511132724 https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/511309773 I think it can be difficult to move on in life after being a successful high school athlete. These are adolescents who dedicate countless hours working on increasing their athletic ability and working with a team, and often it's the last chance they have to do so. For some extremely successful athletes, they might feel lost after receiving so much attention for their abilities from colleges and classmates.]]> 2020-04-16 17:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/511309773 https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/511427506 I think for some athletes it may be difficult because they dedicated so much time into it so it might be really hard to move on especially if they had hopes of playing professionally, but I know many athletes who take their sport seriously but they don't see themselves being a professional athlete, so it may be easier for those who have other goals in life they want to achieve to move on to the next part of their life.]]> 2020-04-16 18:44:05 UTC https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/511427506 https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/511435289 There are definitely people that put a lot of their time and effort and life into high school sports, and I think that for some people, it's a big part of their life and an escape from maybe a home life issue or whatever it is. I think for many it could be hard to let go of this and move on, but I don't think that's the case for the majority of particicpants]]> 2020-04-16 18:48:09 UTC https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/511435289 https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/511614052 I will be the outlier and say that most high school athletes don't struggle to move on. Sure, they miss the sport and their teammates but they are still fully able to move on with their life. This question seems to suggest that they are crippled with the lack of playing their sport, which is not true.]]> 2020-04-16 20:38:49 UTC https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/511614052 https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/511773277 2020-04-16 23:02:19 UTC https://padlet.com/claamad/ihqh1bh7k55dv764/wish/511773277
