How to Deal with Being Cut From a Team

Dealing with being released from a team is undoubtedly tough, both mentally and emotionally. It's natural to feel a range of emotions—disappointment, sadness, maybe even anger—but remember, this is just a chapter in your journey, not the end of your story.

Every successful athlete has faced setbacks and rejections. It's part of the process that builds resilience and character. Use this experience as an opportunity to grow. You'll meet new friends, learn new things from different coaches, and create new memories that wouldn't have been possible otherwise.

The saying "when one door closes, another one opens" holds true here. This is your chance to explore new opportunities and challenges. Stay grateful for what you've learned so far, stay motivated for what lies ahead, and keep dreaming of your future achievements.

Adversity is part of sports and life. It's not about never failing, but how you bounce back and grow from setbacks. Build your resilience and toughness through this experience because the next opportunity is waiting for you.

Keep your head up. It's okay to feel disappointed, but believe that brighter moments are ahead. You've got this!  IT’S GOING TO BE OK!!
