Help me w/ my coach please.?

Question

My coach seems to really dislike me.

No seriously- Im not just imagining it.

I'm about to be a jr. and im about 6 ft tall.

everyone else on the team is 5'7 or less.

and yet he brought up some younger, not as good as me players to play varsity MB.

last year he tried to get me to quit the team w/ only 2 game left in the season. Now, the possiblity of playing Jv as a jr really upsets me b/c. (not to brag)-but as an 8th grader i was told by a former league champion team's coach that he thought i had the potential to play in college. & this coach wont even put me in if a player on the floor needs to be taken out. grr. tryouts are soon and any help with talking with him or blowing him away would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Answer 1

You seem to have a lot of confidence in your ability, which isn't really a bad thing. However, maybe your confidence is coming across as arrogance, which can be a very bad thing. How are you with the other players? Do you get along, do you encourage or criticize them? Do you always try and pay attention? The other coach told you that you had potential, but potential is only realized through hard work and practice. Talk to you coach and ask them why they're doing this to you. You might not like the answer, but if it is your attitude nows the time to fix it.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

That sounds like a serious problem that you have.My coach did the same thing for me in basketball when I was in High school. Just ignore him and don't let that get to you. Play your best and it is not your coach's decision whether a scout thinks that you play good. So don't worry you still have a shot to make it with volleyball.

Answer 3

my coach makes the shorter people play middle back :[ and my coach dosent hate me, but im actually STARTING to get my hit and he wont let me practice my hits once because im better at digging.. tryouts are in 6 days and i wanted to get my hit by then, but i cant. :[

but yeah, i feel ya.

just do your best, prove to him that you can do anything he asks of you.

cuz even if he did hate you, i doubt he dosent hate you enough to lose.

just ignore him. if he hates you that much, hes a idiot and shouldent be a coach.

Answer 4

You have to figure out why he doesn't like you.  Did your parents do anything or talk to him about you?  That usually can be a reason.  Perhaps at this point, you can only focus on you, the team, and playing your absolute best.  Take your aggression out on the court to make yourself a better player.  I would not like playing jv as a junior and that means you will probably get cut as a senior.  He put you there to justify it.  Ask yourself if you are really good enough to be on varsity.  Truly?  Are you or are you giving yourself more credit than you deserve.  It is not about what a coach told you when you were in jr. high.  Why did this guy try to make you quit?  Something had to lead up to it.  I would speak with him about it in an adult manner and ask him what he thinks you can do better and what the girls he is putting out on the floor are doing better than you.  If it is truly a matter of him not liking you and not playing you go and speak to the athletic director if speaking with him doesn't work.  If it is about you giving yourself more credit than you deserve, try hard and if it doesn't work out move on or keep trying.  Good luck.

Answer 5

I say that at tryouts show him that you are better then all of them..and then if he wants to win...he will play you. Just blow him off back, if he does the same to you.  Make him want to be nice to you, to get you to play. Just show him that he is not the only one in charge...and he cant act that way against just one person..everything is a team thing. Hope that helps!
