Question

Answer 1

Kick him in the balls! If he doesn't notice you then, try swimming :)

Answer 2

It's because he knows you are good, and can tell that you think you are good. He notices you and he knows that you want him to notice you. Just cheer everyone else on when they do something good and don't make a big deal out of you doing making a good play. To make him notice you more: be LOUD! - call for the ball and go for everything, be a leader!, and cheer your team mates on! He will notice you, even if he doesn't show that he notices you.  

Answer 3

She does this because she doesn't need to recognize your talent because your good.  She tells other people "excellent!" or something like that because she knows and the person knows that they are not good so she does this to boost up their confidence.  By doing this, the coach is letting the girl know that she is noticing her improvement.  Keep doing on what your doing.  Personally, don't say anything because if you do, then from now on it will be awkward between you and your coach.  She knows that your good or you wouldn't be on the team.  

Answer 4

hustle, be loud (call the ball all the time and keep on talking) and have a good attitude.

Answer 5

=], you are absolutely right. I do awesome serves all the time, and he's there but never says a thing. But when a new person does a serve and it barely goes over, he's all like WOW FANTASTIC! it's because the coach knows you are good and everytime you do a good play, he can't compliment you all the time. For okay players, he compliments them because they havent had as much experience as you. Don't worry, the coach knows you are good and you don't need any special way to prove it to him. Just be loud on the court, always stay low, and have a positive attitude. Show that you have potential and you are commited. As long as you have all of that (along with skills), you're sure to make the team!

Answer 6

Hustle all the time  

Answer 7

Talk to your coach. Be honest and relaxed. You want to show your coach that you have skills and that you are not a whiny diva. Ask him what he thinks of your performance, and what you need to do to make the team. You can bring up the fact that you feel your plays are not as recognized, again be factual, don't get upset or angry it will turn him off. At the end of the day, he is the coach, he makes the decisions. And his perceptions of your skills will always be different than yours. Good luck!

Answer 8

Just keep working hard.
