Is it fair or wrong that a coach does this ?

Question

This week we had 2-a-days and I worked really hard from 7:30-3 every day, but today they picked 4 people that may get moved up to varsity and 2 of the people were late or didnt come and can only play one position and I'm just as good as the other 2 and I play all positions. I don't know if it;s me or if he picks favorites.

Answer 1

I can play all positions too, but which position are you best at: that's your position. Focus your skills into one position.

Answer 2

this stuff happens all the time in highschool sports lots of favoritism amongst the players by coaches all you can do now if your not moved up is work hard and try out next year

Answer 3

I don't like it when players say things like, I'm better than this player or that player and they got picked over me. I also don't like when players are way too involved in other player's business.

I do like when players hustle, work hard, and worry about things they control. You say you worked hard, maybe your "working hard" is not enough, or maybe your skills are lacking enough that working really hard just didn't make it happen yet. If you truly continue to work hard though, it'll happen eventually.

Coaches do NOT play favorites in the sense that they favor certain players more personally. They do play favorites in the way of - This player works hard and is really good because of it, I'm going to place them on Varsity. This player doesn't work as hard, but is okay, or has potential with enough playing time, I'm going to put them on JV.

I assume you have no idea if the players that were late or absent were excused or not, and you are just guessing. I also highly doubt a JV high school player can judge talent enough to know whether they are better than a given player. It's simply a matter of what you perceive. I will guarantee that there are tons of things about Volleyball that you haven't even been taught yet. Until you are taught those things, you can't properly understand what coaches are looking for in a talent pool.

Worry about you. Don't whine because you perceive a certain situation. Ask the coach, again do not whine, what you can concentrate on to get better and actually do it. Don't just ask the question and not follow through, it'll make you look lazy.

Coaches aren't responsible for holding your hand and explaining every intricate detail of their job, and the choices they make, to you. You must make the effort to approach them and ask them specifically what they need from you.  

Answer 4

You play all positions huh?

Maybe you should focus on getting better at one position. Then you might get a spot.

Answer 6

It's totally not fair that your coach did that. But unfortunetly that's how life is, especially in high school sports. This girl that sets for our varsity team, isn't that great at it and that's the only position she plays, but she praised beyond belief and guarenteed a spot on varsity beause of who her parents are. It's pathetic, just keep trying your hardest and show your coach he/she made the wrong decision. If you work your hardest it's only going to make yourself stronger, and make you even better for varsity next year.

Answer 7

You may never know why coaches do the strange things they do. I'd just focus on your game and that you love to play volleyball. Playing sports in HS were some of my best memories so don't give up. Have fun, kick butt and the coach will see your effort for sure--try outs are to show case yourself , so don't worry about anyone else does or doesn't do---just do your best and you'll have that memory forever. Was that way too chessy?? :):)   GOOD LUCK!!
