Health, mainly. Yes I would have been in exceptional shape the next 4ish years of my life, but imagine what my knees, head, back etc. would be like in 20-30 years. My high school has had almost a dozen D1 players in the last decade, all of which have some health issues already. Mainly minor, but still.

That's some BMS shit.

Oh tons. My coach was more shocked than mad but he started to realize where I was coming from. Today no one remains upset about it. Especially my parents. They supported me 100% in my decision.

Absolutely. A good friend/mentor of mine decided to play in the MAC as an OT. His knee's are completely ruined and he has even said there are days he really does regret playing. To me, I wanted to be able to walk with my grand kids someday without having to take painkillers.
