If they're good and true friends, you won't lose them. Try to stay in touch with them despite not being with them in your athletic activities. It might be difficult to hang out with them and chat as often as you're used to, but that's life. Do what you can to continue to stay friends with them. They should be making some effort to stay in touch with you, likewise.

Making the decision to focus on your schoolwork is a smart one, so don't allow yourself to regret it if things don't work out so well in the friend department. Putting your own interests in front of all else is the wisest thing to do.

Send them texts and/or emails often to let them know you want to keep talking to them and that you value their friendship. Chances are, they'll notice and will reply to your messages.
 
The chances are you may drift away from some of them. I know that from my working career, it is often difficult to keep in touch with people you used to know at a previous job. Sports can be all consuming and are therefore similar in a way. But you can certainly make an effort to keep in touch. See if there are things you can arrange to do together in the summer or during the year, outside sports and studies. Go bowling, biking, hang out someplace (someone's home, pizza place, park, wherever), go to concerts.

You don't have to lose your friends, but you don't need to worry about losing them either. Sometimes new directions bring new friends. That's the nature of life. But any friend that's really close will keep popping up regardless, so enjoy whatever you've decided to do and see what happens!!
 
fuck friends, your future matters most. your friends is not going to make you happy for ever.. their not always going to be their
