Instead I got a job and worked nights and weekends for my car. I guess I probably learned some valuable lessons in doing that too, but I wish I would have just realized that I had the rest of my life to work... and sports is something you have a small window of opportunity with.
It just sucks when you're young that sometimes it's really tough to appreciate things like that. I remember hating practice, now I would die to be able to just strap on the pads one more time and be able to hit someone.

I made a similar mistake my junior year. I quit before the season was over just to work at Chuckee Cheese. That was a boneheaded move as well.
