I ran all throughout high school and am currently on a D3 team, but I just don't have the love, or the spark, for the sport anymore.... How did I get it back?


I was there twice, once right before my senior year of HS, and another my freshman year of college.

It sucks.

Personally, I got it back by stepping away for a few months. People kept asking me if I was going to return, but didn't push - just an interest.

I discovered what I loved in the first place (personal fulfillment), and set my own agenda after that - didn't do it to please anyone (which I had been doing - pleasing parents, coaches, girlfriends, etc). Learned to do it for myself, and had a much more fun time of it!

I'm actually in it right now for a third time - with real-life issues (now that I'm an old guy). It can be hard reconciling what you want to do, vs what you've been doing before.

Good luck.
