I am 15, freshman in high school. I have played soccer for 10 years. I am pretty good at it, I started in rec., moved up to a low level club team and I am not on a team in the state league. The thing is I am not as interested in it as I used to be. I used to have soccer practice, then go home and play 1v1 with my brother right after. Now I cant even get myself to go to practice. I missed all 6 practices we have had so far.

I dont know what to do, should I make myself play it? Will my interest come back? My team now is very serious and we dont let anyone fool around, could this pressure have something to do with it?
 
You should try and give soccer one more go. If after i few practice you think that you are no longer interested, you can always find another sport or hobby. You will a hard time keeping up if you have no motivation in something you do. Something like this happened to me before but it was in my basketball team in school. Been playing for a couple of years then after one league, i decided to quit since I find it way to tiring and I am no longer enjoying myself. So i focused on other things, while still keeping basketball as one of my hobbies.
 
I'm in the same situation:( I don't want to do Athletics anymore, but I'm really good at it, but not interested in it anymore. Pressure can definetly lower enthusiasm in something. But maybe you can stop when the season ends? Theres no point in doing something your not interested in anymore, you lose the excitement. Try another sport for a while and see if its more or less exciting than soccer, but I gotta be honest with u, soccer is really fun. Your interests, your choice. Hope I helped, Good luck!
