Help I don't know what to do.

Question

My coach just changed my main offense position. I went from a RB to a WR. I hate WR i can't stand it.I have no clue what to do. I told him how i feel and he said he doesn't care. I almost want to quit. I absolutely hate playing now. I don't look forward to going like i used to. I don't even want to be there. I know nothing about the position. I am used to looking for holes and just running. Now I am catching and doing c**p that I, once again, Hate. My mom and dad told me just to quit. I shouldn't do something just because someone told me to. I should only play if I love it. And I am thinking about Quitting just to spite my coach. I know that its wrong but it honestly feels right. I don't like the game anymore. The problem with me leaving the team is I am afraid my friends will think of me as the one who quit. And not that i should need to prove anything to the team or my friends. And my coach told me if I talked to him about the Switch back he would ask me to return my equipment(and no when i talked to him there was no screaming). Opinions?

Answer 1

Instead of asking him for the move back, prove to him that you should be moved back. After you catch the ball at WR, put it in the endzone. You'll catch his eye. Every time you catch the ball get the most YAC (Yards After the Catch) you can. Break tackles, juke pass defenders, and sprint down the sideline.  

Answer 2

Tough situation being in high school myself iv seen that when people quit they do take some c**p about it. If you really dislike it this much despite of what the coach said the only thing i can think to do is to confront him again tell him that you dislike WR very much and you want moved to a different position in worst case you wont be quitting in your friends eyes it'll be the coach making you quit. But do whatever you feel i dont think you should play a sport for the popularity or because all your friends do unless your having fun.

Summary: Try to make it work get the most fun as you can if you just simply cant enjoy it. Confront your coach and tell him that you have tried your hardest to accept the change but you don't enjoy the position and you want a change.

Answer 3

You coach asked you to change to WR because he sees some skills that will help the passing game or because someone else on the team has more RB skills than you do. If you truly love football, learn the new position and excel at it. (How may former college QBs are now WRs in the NFL? Alot.) If you can't stand the change, than quit.  

Answer 4

Destroy your coach.You must do that NOW!Hurry!

Answer 5

Quiters never win!!!

Growing up i always wanted to play RB but i never got the opportunity and i wanted to quit too....They put me at TE and it was the greatest move ever. I was blocking and rolling out for passes. I said the blocking part because every time they ran to the right side our RB picked up 20 yards plus. I knew i was important to my team. I love to catch. I was 12 then and played WR from that day on.

Most RB's are selfish and never thank the blockers. It will look really bad if u quit becuase of this. Football is a team sport and u should play where the coach puts u. He put u at WR and u still have a way tomake plays and win for ur team. If ur mad about not getting the ball to often then u should go out for special teams.

If u quit u never will know where it will lead u. U can make the pros someday or get to a D-1 college. Not everyone in football gets to play where they want. Do it for ur team and don't quit. U will look bad.

I have to dissagree with going to the coach. The coach knows who the best guy for the job is. Plus he said he would ask for the equipment back if he ask again. You have to respect the coaches decision. Like i said i wanted to play RB and i never knew WR was my natural position. I can tell u do love the game and u don't want to quit. Just keep playing and make the best out of it. RB's have a bunch of pressure on them anyway.

I don't want u to quit and then u see ur team win the championship. U want to be apart of it trust me. I played 10 years and lost 2 championships.

Try it out this year and see where it takes u. Its always next year where u can prove to the next coach (what year are u in anyway?) If ur a freshman then u have next year to prove to the JV coach.

DO NOT APPROACH THE COACH ABOUT IT AGAIN. Just play for your team. If u quit it will be very selfish

Ok i see now. That's not right if he hasn't seen u play RB. So how is the guy they put in ur place? Do u feel that ur better? Still u have all season to prove him wrong. I say u play the year out and if u don't like it  transfer to another school close by and try to play RB there.
