Change from that for me came when my program stopped getting funded. So I had to move back home and re-evaluate my life. I took my AmeriCorps "scholarship" and went to college. It was great. Turns out I really liked college and just didn't know it before. Somehow things came together for me at the time and I learned how to afford something I previously felt was completely out of reach for me. It was learning to take one day at a time and learning to ask for help that really made the difference for me. I was in AmeriCorps, too.

It was a rapid change rather than a gradual one. The head coach I worked for was emotionally unstable and verbally abusive. It had come to a point where I found that I spent a lot of my time and energy as a mediator, smoothing over situations where she had acted out of line with players, parents and coaches. Sometimes I feel like I could have handled my resignation in a more "professional" manner (I packed up at an out of town tournament and got a flight out), but I don't regret my decision to leave at all.
