I am a 17yr old training hard to be a fast bowler, I love to run in hard and bowl fast, but my body and mind never support me inspite of sure hardwork in the ground and the gym. I thought positively and was strong mentally throughout the journey but never did I once get a smell of success in the past 6yrs. I tried different things that could have worked out for me, but found that the end result in every experiment was same. Recently a year back I went through an injury where it took 4 months to recover from it with a lot of rehab and strengthing. They told I had a wrong action which leaded to my injury and so changing my bowling action had become a must. I never got a personal coach for me even though I tried a lot. And the next season that is this year I felt my new action was not strong enough and was totally disgraced by my performance, the worst I could perform. And now I feel like not working more on it because it is not meant for me and feel like quiting and living a normal life where I even study well and find a living, what do you feel I should do with this life?

One has to contemplate why what the mind thinks doesn't relate to the body. Normally the cycle is thoughts become feelings, feelings become actions . There is an intellect that can stop this. If the thought is wrong, then the intellect can stop the mind from thinking that thought and before it becomes an action. Or if there is a habit, then we must change the habit. But normally, as you think, so you act. If you are not acting the way you think then you need to question - why? You need to take charge of your mind. You have to make the monkey into a monk and then control the mind to act the way you want to act.
