Trying so hard
-
Basketball-wise. I started playing basketball in my Primary School. Didn't join any CCA or clubs because I hated competitions. Now that my mind's ripen (Sec 4, waiting for results), competitions are ways of gaining experiences/exposure. However, basketball doesn't seem to interest me as much as in the past. But I keep training, pushing myself in this area. The irony is -- I don't know why. Maybe I don't want to lose out to my friends. Maybe I want to be recognised in this field.
I'm trying to take it as a hobby now. But it's not like I'm the only one around. People/groups ask for matches, and I'm game. But I don't perform as well as when I'm just practicing shooting. Argh. -

I think you feel this way because of other factors in your life like fatigue, studies, maybe gf or you rather be doing other things. These are distractions that a serious sportsman has to fight constantly...
If you tell yourself you LOVE basketball and manage your life properly, you can rediscover the passion. If you have a gift in basketball, then please fulfill your potential. Otherwise you may evaluate your interests and move on... -
i think you play basketball not because you love it but your friends are all playing it so you just dont feel like missing out and be outcasted or something.
i used to try to play good basketball but still sucks as i've little ball sense. after secondary school, everything seems to be better. basketball in secondary school is almost everything but after that, it's just a hobby and nothing much.

People's minds develop. People's interests change.
Discipline is good when you're doing something that is useful. Habits can be bad or good. Doing something that has no use is wasteful.
If basketball helps you stay in touch with friends or keeps you fit or gives you a sense of accomplishment, then it is still useful.
