I actually did this in college so it's a little different but things weren't going my way and I decided to take a season off. No training, no lifting, no coaches, no rec leagues, nothing. For the first time since I was 6 years old I wasn't playing a competitive sport, and it was like a switch was hit. At first it was just going to be a season so I could figure things out, but after a few weeks I just decided I was ending my career.

So that's my advice don't think of it as ending a career. Take a season off enjoy life, and see how that fits.
