Hellooo my brother, the feeling of not wanting to go to church is normal but is not right. Is normal because there is nothing strange about it. It is wrong because is against God's will for your spiritual wellbeing. For such feeling to have have reach the level it is , I think something is wrong with your church. Am of the opinion that you should change your church. It is soul assassination to attend Church were the same thing is repeated all over every Sunday. You pastor is dead, run for your life before you too die. When God is involved is always fresh and new, the bible says His mercies are new every morning.

Even bad situations can sometimes produce favorable outcome for some. wish you guy the best

I think is not the best making it public. though the positive side of it is that it will make him stop footballing and the run, that goes with it and save his strength for a
bigger run ahead.
