About my future life

Hello.
This is my first time consulting.
I've been working for 4 years since April.
I've been competing since the 3rd grade of elementary school, and I'm still playing for a business team.
I've experienced a transfer and there's no one I want to be friends with. I don't understand why that is. Also, I feel like I'm not showing my true self. Teamwork is important, so I try to go out for meals and outings when invited, but I don't feel like inviting them myself. I'm still on good terms with my friends from my previous team and I call and play.
Also, I'm worried about whether to retire from the competition.
Recently, there have been a lot of bench-outs, and growth has been sluggish, so I often want to quit and live a normal life without practice or training. I don't want to make mistakes, and I feel like I can't play against the opponent in front of me.
I often go to practice and train feeling depressed.
The many children around me who are getting married and giving birth also look sparkling.
Is quitting an escape?
I don't even know if it's better to keep going or if it's better to put a break.
I know I'm the one who makes the final decision, but I'd like some advice and advice.

It's a sign of the next “change.” There's no need to blame them for “running away.”

Thank you for your consultation. I would like to express my sincere respect for being able to pour passion into one competition and continue to fight in the tough world of business groups for a long time since the 3rd grade of elementary school.

In Buddhism, there is a term called “impermanent behavior.” It means that everything in this world is constantly changing and changing. It is quite natural for your mind and circumstances to change. In the past, there may have been meaning in putting all our energy into competition, but now a new voice of heart is being born saying “I want to live a normal life.” There's no need to blame it as an “run away.” It is a sign of “change” to move towards the next stage in life.

Also, the only reason we can't show our roots with the new team is that the shape of the “relationship” is different from before. You don't have to force yourself to make up your mind and make up for it. Right now, I may be at a turning point where I let go of my “obsession” with myself as an athlete.

If your heart is screaming, please give yourself some rest. Seeing your surroundings shine is also proof that you want to embark on a new path. Your efforts up until now will never go away. Please quietly organize your mind and choose “the path you really want to walk right now” for yourself. We are supporting a new start.

Quitting is not an escape.
It's about moving on to the next stage in life, isn't it?
However, people who are getting married and giving birth are probably sparkling, but I think the sight of you working hard at practice and games is also sparkling.
I think it's okay to keep going until there's an opportunity to quit, such as being able to do something else, not being able to play satisfactorily due to an injury, getting fired from a player contract, or getting pregnant and wanting to rest.
Growth seems to be sluggish, but it seems to be a common occurrence in sports. It seems that if you keep practicing without giving up there, something will trigger you to start growing. It seems that there are times when my skills have improved through practice, whether my team play has improved, or whether I have begun to understand how to prepare against my opponents, and my results suddenly start improving even though I don't know what is the cause.
Speaking of which, Hoki Sawa, a former professional women's soccer player, said what surprised me when she moved to America was that the players put on makeup after practice and went on dates and play. It was an impossible scene in Japan back then. I don't think you need to give up on love or anything just because you're an athlete.

Next, I'll draw my own way of life. That future will give me a boost.

You've been through a long competitive life, haven't you? Play has always been at the center of life, and the relationships that have been built there have probably strengthened the team strongly. That's great. The experience, achievements, and friends you've gained are irreplaceable, aren't they?

There was probably a reason they made the transfer. However, changes in the environment will also have an impact on relationships and play.

It seems that his feelings are oriented towards retirement, and I would like you to analyze the causes that led to this point. Is it because of the members or the atmosphere at the transfer destination that there are no people they want to be friends with? We're not in a relationship where we're deepening our relationship yet, and will we be able to understand each other from now on, or have we ended up in a relationship where we don't get along? Is the evaluation of play a teamwork issue, or is my limit being reached? It's probably time for comprehensive opinions and judgments.

As soon as I am satisfied with any choice, a future without regrets will expand.
When I quit my previous job, I too saw it as a successful graduation rather than letting go. And what made me think so was that I had found my goal for the next one. Next, I'll draw my own way of life. I think that future gave me a boost.

Will you, too, refine your position and abilities in the current environment, or advance to the next stage? Why don't you imagine it?

Let's take a fresh look at yourself

I read it.
You also play sports in the business group, and you're worried about what to do in the future. I don't know the details about you or the sports situation, but I can tell you that you are very worried. I understand your feelings from the bottom of my heart.
After joining a new team, I don't think it's easy to get used to it, and it's hard to communicate. I think you can also understand that it's hard for you to cope with practice.
What do you think? You've probably been working hard until now, so is it time for both your mind and body to stop being like this? Or how about taking another break and then restarting?
Don't be in a hurry, why don't you take a break and take a fresh look at yourself? And let's make your own judgement.
I will support you from the bottom of my heart. We wholeheartedly agree

Thank you Umi-sama for your consultation.

Why don't you think about the future together and receive coaching?
I think it would be a good idea to look for a coach who can envision the future and provide mental support.
Of course, I make my own decisions at the end, but I recommend getting coaching because you can make decisions that you are satisfied with without being alone.

For example, what was your greatest motivation for continuing for 3 years in elementary school until now?
And if I could make use of that motivation from now on, what kind of things can I do
? or
If I were to imagine what kind of excitement would there be, what kind of people would be around me, and what kind of smiles would be overflowing even if I had achieved my goals in the future, what should I do now?
I'll think about it, etc.
By thinking about this kind of content together and getting support, you will be able to make firm decisions for yourself, so please consider it.

It's easier to fall into a sense of loneliness when you're having a lot of trouble, so I think it's a good idea to get help from someone rather than just one person.
Please refer to it.
