Anybody can quit, it takes grit to finish what you start.

My son is a senior and had never played organized basketball in his life, he is a baseball kid.

He tried out for the basketball team and made the varsity. The coach told him up front he would be a practice player primarily and not get much game time. The coach was right and he only saw about 15 minutes of game time for the whole season.

He often hated the fact but the coach was up front from the beginning so he stuck it out. I am often more proud of the fact he stuck it out than I am of him being a 4 year varsity starter in baseball.

I know this baseball player was not told at the beginning of the year that he would ride the bench but being on JV as a junior should of said something to him and his parents.

Just my humble opinion.
