I’ve been thinking about quitting for months now. I train and compete in Australia Andrew for the past few months have been dreading training sessions. Each session I just feel “ugh” to put it simply before going in. I am unmotivated when I am at training and don’t feel the desire to improve or gain new skills.
However, I am worried that my desire for quitting may be because I have had a particularly bad year as I went from coming 3rd at Nationals for my age to not even qualifying. I have had trouble at competition coping with my nerves and build up anxiety before them. I stacked all of my passes at competitions. I am worried that I am quitting not because I’ve lost my love fore tumbling but because I just haven’t done well in competition.
Recently, I thought I started to enjoy it as I have been landing all my doubles at gym but when it comes to new skills I find that I can’t be bothered to do well and am severely unmotivated I also still continue to dread going to gym.
However, I feel as though I have built a family their, I am so close to my teammates and have shared so much of my life with them. Leaving them would be heartbreaking for me but maybe it is the reason I’m not quitting. I need some guidance on this issue and how to move forward.
