When I was a sheltered child I went to a private Christian school that I hated from kindergarten to sixth grade. In the second week of the sixth grade I was so tired of it that I just walked home during lunch instead of going inside when the bell rang. It took me hours to walk home, and in the meantime, the school had not informed my mother I was missing and instead the principle was looking for me at places like McDonald’s because he figured that’s where a kid would go. When I got home I told my mom why I left and then about thirty minutes later the school called and she read them the riot act about not informing her that her son was missing and that I had come straight home because the school was the problem and their hesitance to tell her that her son was missing was further evidence that the school was the problem. I was in public school the following week, where I got made fun of on my first day because I didn’t know what a “boner” was (fuck you Josh).
Anyway, yeah, you can totally just leave shit. It actually works.
So the next time your coach tells you to “walk it off” just keep walking.

I’m happy to hear that your mother (at least somewhat) supported you.
