Juan has noticed that his best friend, Sanjay, has stopped showing up for their friendly basketball games, something they would
enjoy a few nights a week just for fun. Sanjay has seemed overwhelmed with academic obligations and a new job and doesn't socialize as much anymore. The last time Juan saw Sanjay at school, Sanjay seemed tired, irritable, and quickly dismissed Juan's concerns, saying that he "doesn't have time for fun" anymore. What might be an effective strategy for Juan to help Sanjay manage this stress?
----------------------------------------------
Ask the school's athletic coach to talk to Sanjay about the importance of staying physically active regardless of his other obligations in order to maintain his fitness.
Quit playing basketball until Sanjay has the time to join him again, and in the meantime, offer to help him with some schoolwork to ease his academic burdens.
Support Sanjay in his academic goals and aspirations by respecting the fact that he doesn't have time for basketball or other activities for pleasure anymore.
Talk to him about his overwhelming schedule of responsibilities and see if maybe they can prioritize and manage time better so Sanjay can go back to activities he enjoys.
