It's all about passion and the love for it. For me it was ice hockey my parents made me gave it up when I was young. I was good too my coaches noticed it. But however my parents didn't see it that way. They didn't think it was a future career for me. They thought it was just an activity to keep kids busy. Still today very dearly I love hockey and still have that burning passion for it. I regret listening to my parents and not continuing it on my own. But it's still something I want to do while I can before I get old. If I have money I would do it in a heart beat. It would be a nice story a grad student also pursuing his childhood dream of becoming a hockey player. Anyways moral of the story follow what you love to do no matter what and enjoy it if you have the passion for it because in the end you'll regret it. Also don't worry about school you're still young you have plenty of time.
if you got anywhere competitively, you probably would have got weeded out at puberty time. That's when all the huge kids with moustaches when they are twelve start to use their size to force you out of the game. Then the kids whose parents have money buy them a spot on the team. I'm just kidding, it's not like that, passion is important. But like the OP has to understand, in reality its the kids who were absolutely beastly natural athletes who also worked hard eating the right things from a young age despite what anyone tells them who make it anywhere. I played competitive up until age thirteen and my dad was a powerskating instructor and sharpened skates and practically had me with a stick in my hand out of the cradle,
Anyways OP, it sounds like you are in the same boat as a lot of people. You lack free thought. You want to do what is right so you can't admit what you really love.
