>tfw I was given the perfect start back when I was 13
>my dad put me in a good football program
>the coaches were excellent at training and were affiliated with good high schools
>high schools were already sending me mail because I was bigger and taller than the rest of my peers
>just a few years and I would have been a player on a high school team
>I gave it all up for video games and internet
Now, I am forced to learn how to do power cleans and fix my posture from the internet. I stretch every day to undo the imbalances I've forced upon my body. This would have easily been done years ago if I wasn't a hedonistic nihilist. I regret it...
What feels can you share?

And now I'm a 26 year old virgin who's still doing his bachelors degree and making noob gains. Sometimes I wonder what life I could have had if only I would have taken a different path in life. Hold me senpai

I joined my athletics program and I even participated in a few competitions. Then, I got hurt and my asshole teacher made me take some shitty drug to compete without feeling pain. I had to take full rest for one year because of that shit and I stopped exercising altogether.
I went from 6'2 170 lbs to 140lbs. Took me a while to recover.

>not placing all his hopes and dreams on a sport
>doing his bachelors degree and lifting
sounds more like a success story to me
Don't know if freinds actually like me because they hang out all the time without me and whenever i ask of they wanna hang it seems like they already have plans with each other I didn't know about
>Decide I need to find out
>Delete all non important contacts from my phone so I don't give in to loneliness
>If they like me they'll text me
>2 weeks now
>Nothing
>No calls, no texts, no snaps and they all seem to be having fun on their stories
>I actually have no fucking freinds
>This is the worst feel ever
>Worse than no gf
>No bros to hang with
>Always alone
>Cant go anywhere alone so cant meet new people
>I'm so sad rn
I also feel like the only reason I developed an interest in fashion, music, fitness and books is so that I can fake a personality desu, I don't have anything else to bring to a group of freinds. My humour is so self depreciating to the point it worries people and I can never get people excited or looking forward to anything. I don't know what to do with my life. I might just try to have enough income for nice clothes, a home gym and some entertainment and just cocoon myself forever and stop going out although together
It's not worth it

Man I actually miss not having friends or a gf. I love her now so i dont really want to leave. But I liked being a loner. Did what I want. Where I wanted too. Met up with acquaintances and I had a whole bunch of sex with different girls.
Now I do couples shit and hang out with my friends now because i dont know.
I really just want a house in the woods. Where I can collect rain water and hunt for my food.
odds are you wouldn't of gotten anywhere.
its a well understood phenomenon the kids who peak early are seldom the ones who will actually make it in professional sport.
it's the kids who peak later who do, typically.
From a Midwest state with a huge wrestling culture, tradition of wrestling in mom's side of family. They put me in the program in elementary, I hated it since I was a little pussy. Now I'm in my early 20s, love fitness and grappling/BJJ, and wish nothing more than to go back and wrestle to build that base of technique/discipline/fitness as a kid.

Protip: In relationships of any kind, always make it seem like it's not really important to you.
Controlled neglect is the way to go.

I wasn't ever planning on playing football professionally; fuck no.
I have recently seen the importance of having an athletic body. Training in football would have likely gotten me this. However I missed out, and thus I lost all function and balance within my body.
