Should I quit my sport if it’s hurting my grades?

If your grades are slipping due to your sport, don’t rush to quit right away. Talk to your coach about your academic workload since they might be willing to adjust practice intensity or offer flexibility. If you still feel overwhelmed, consider cutting back on practice hours or getting extra help with school through tutoring or study groups. Only if nothing works and your academics continue to suffer should you consider stepping away from your sport. Colleges value both sports and academics, but your education should always come first. Finding the right balance takes effort, but it is possible with the right approach.
