Got it! Here’s a resignation letter for John Mateer, a hypothetical top player for the Oklahoma Sooners, in a more standard and thoughtful tone. While it’s detailed, I’ll aim for a length that feels appropriate for the situation

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. It is with a heavy heart and deep reflection that I write to officially resign from my position as a player on the Oklahoma Sooners football team. This decision has not come easily, and after much thought, it is the best choice for my personal future and well-being.

I want to start by expressing my immense gratitude to you, the coaching staff, my teammates, and the entire University of Oklahoma. The opportunity to play for the Sooners has been a dream come true. I’ve learned invaluable lessons both on and off the field. You and the entire coaching staff have not only taught me about the game of football but about discipline, resilience, teamwork, and leadership. These lessons will resonate with me throughout my life, and I will forever carry them with me.

Throughout my time at Oklahoma, I’ve been privileged to work with some of the best athletes in the country, and I’m proud to have contributed to the program’s successes over the past few seasons. The relationships I’ve formed with my teammates have been one of the most rewarding aspects of my time here, and I will cherish those bonds long after my time on the field.

However, as difficult as this decision is, I have come to realize that my personal circumstances and future aspirations require me to step away from the game. Football has been a central part of my life for many years, and this team has become my second family. But after careful consideration, I have concluded that it is time to pursue a different path—one that aligns with my long-term personal goals and interests. I am confident that this decision will allow me to grow as an individual, both in terms of my career and my overall well-being.

This decision is not one that I take lightly, and it is not a reflection of any dissatisfaction with the program, the team, or the University of Oklahoma. In fact, the support and camaraderie that I’ve experienced during my time here have been second to none. The pride I’ve felt representing the Sooners has been unmatched, and I will always look back on my time here with fondness and gratitude.

I owe much of my growth as a player and as a person to the opportunity to compete at the highest level, and I will forever appreciate the support from the staff, my teammates, and the fans who have cheered us on. I am proud to have been a part of this storied program and to have contributed in any way I could.

Please know that this decision comes with the utmost respect for the program, and I am committed to making this transition as smooth as possible. I will continue to work with the coaching staff to ensure a seamless handover of my responsibilities, and I remain available to assist with any matters that may arise during this process.

I would like to thank you once again for the guidance, leadership, and unwavering support that you and the coaching staff have provided throughout my time at Oklahoma. You’ve helped shape me into the person I am today, and I will always be grateful for the opportunities you’ve given me.

I wish nothing but the best for the team as you continue to build on the legacy of excellence that has come to define Oklahoma football. I will forever be a fan of the Sooners, and I look forward to seeing the team succeed in the years to come. I know that this program will continue to produce outstanding student-athletes, and I hope to stay connected with the program in the future.

Thank you once again for everything. This chapter of my life will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will carry the lessons learned at Oklahoma with me as I embark on the next phase of my journey.

Sincerely,
John Mateer
