From ages 10 to 17 I based my entire personality on cricket. Constantly watching it, reading about it, playing for clubs and school team. Then one day I just realised I hated it. I hated the people I knew through the sport, I hated standing out in the sun for hours in the middle of summer, I hated pretty much everything about it. So I quit my team and just forgot all about it.

Every now and then I'll get drunk and watch mark waugh highlights on youtube and that's the extent of my interaction with it.

One thing to take solace in though:

(She deleted the video because a bunch of whiny ski bums gave her shit)
At the end of the day, snowboarding/skiing is a hobby and not something you should base your entire life/ personality around. Its fine when you're younger with less responsibility, but once you are in your 20's you are a fucking loser if you continue that life style. Make money, live a "real" life, and hang out with adults, not 40 year olds shot gunning PBR;s on a Tuesday.

To continue on this point, when I was in high school my dream was to be a raft guide/ ski patroller full time. I didn't plan to go to college but got a full ride and used it as an excuse to get a biz man degree to learn how to run a rafting company. One of the things I had to do was interview my manager at the rafting company I was with at the time. I told her I wanted to do this for a career and the first thing she said to me was "There isn't a single company I have worked for that provides healthcare"

It happens. That's life. You discover new passions and lose interest in others. 15-20 years ago I lost interest in the outdoors after quitting Boy Scouts and was really into emo fashion and music. I spent my time discovering new music everyday, talking about my favorite bands online, going to shows every week, and occasionally making out with other cute emo girls (and boys) in the back of the club. Now? I haven't been to one concert since the pandemic started and spend my free time outdoors and learning about different outdoor activities. Things change. Just don't force yourself into anything you don't want to do anymore. Sometimes you'll come back to your old passion, other times you won't. That's life.

You could always take the pay cut and go back.

Just don't base your livelihood on it. Unless you can reeally make it work, keep it as an enjoyable hobby

If you're actually a male athlete with skills, you can keep on banging twenty-somethings well into your forties. She knows this, and it's her true motivation.
