I am in highschool and I love playing basketball but it always interferes with my baseball season. I think i would become a better player if i would quit basketball and just focus on baseball. but i know if i would quit i would miss it. What do i do?

I would encourage you to do both, just give one sport priority in your case baseball. The high school seasons currently allow you to play both,so do both and limit your participation in basketball to the high school season only. For baseball you can play in season, during the summer in Legion ball, and during the fall perhaps a travel team. Also when you are in season during basketball most high school teams can't practice on Sunday, and some travel teams use that day for practice.

I'd imagine you problem may be with you high school basketball coach who will demand more of your time than just for the season.
