She gets me so upset.,.?

Question

during volleyball practice there is this one girl who doesnt pay any attention to ANYTHING!!! example; we are practicing passing to the setter from left back or anywhere for othat matter and she hits it where ever she wants it to go and then without even caring goes to the back of the line. when we would split up six on each side nobody wanted to be on her team! when i said maybe you shouldnt hit the ball so hard she told me to leave her alone its going to be to hard to accually play with her in the competitions and i cant tell the coach because i dont want her thinking anything bad about me or makeing me feel bad that i told...the coach never says anything to her. I dont know whaty to do should i just confront her and talk to her... but i already tried that! help!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

I would start with the coach.  If I was the coach of your team, I would find room on the bench next to me, even in practice.  I would think that would get her attention.  If the coach does not want to do anything, I would talk to the assistant coach.  If that does not work, I would try the team captain to see if she wants to say something.  (This would be my last option.  It is really the responsibility of the coaching staff.)

Answer 2

Blame it on her if u lose. NO, im kidding.  I would talk to the coach about it, because if everyone feels the same way, it's not like anyone would be against you!  If it continues, if your good enough, leave the team, which would be devastating to the team.  Just think it over, and I'm sure you will find the right thing to do. :D

Answer 3

maybe you could leave an anonymous note for the coach, saying it breaks up the spirit of the team when all the players arnt as focused as the others and arnt giving there best.that makes for poor practices and poor game playing. Hope everything gets better!

God Bless, C

Answer 4

I think that sooner or later the coach will cut this girl if she doesn't follow directions! telling on her probably wont be the best idea because the coach might think you're a tattle tail and your worrying about other people and not yourself... I recommend you use that frustration in your games and in practices....especially with your serves!  Hope I helped!!!!! =]

Answer 5

we had a girl just like that on our team a couple years ago.  what i did what tried to wait it out.  when that didn't work i tried to talk to her about it.  i told her she was being a little rude and i thought it was bringing the team down.  

     when she still didn't listen i went to the coach.  if someone is messing up your play the coach would want to know and possibly the coach hadn't noticed that she was being rude to everyone

     i just told the coach  ""bob" was being rude to some of the girls on the team.. including me and i was wondering if you could talk to her.  I tried but she wouldn't listen to me"  

     i also asked if coach wouldn't mention i talked to him because that would make her target me more.  most important thing to do is be calm about it and make sure you are not talking about this in front of the entire team because that may seem rude.

     i hope you work it out!!!  cuz it is a bummer to play with someone who has an attitude

Answer 6

I have someone just like that on my team she acts the same way and we have a big game coming up in three days.  I talked to her she didn't listen then i mentioned something to one of the other teammates and she told the coach because she cant stand her either this way i didn't feel so bad and the coach still found out.

Answer 7

tell her to get her head in the game!!! do u want to lose?? im shure not becuz im shure u love volleyball and u love winning, and such a wonderful sport shouldnt be wasted. also, make shure if u play with her to get infront of her and take her pass and make it good if u need to, and talk to ur setters. if shes a weak hitter, make shure u call that ball louder than her to get that nice set so u can slam it. If the coaches dont notice, tell ur coach thru a note or just tell her and ask her not to mention ur name. coaches want to play to win too. hope i helped =)

Answer 8

Oh yeah there's always the girl like that *sigh*

Are there other girls on the team that feel the same way you do? then get them together and go talk to your coach privately and tell him/her how you feel. Tell the coach that she's bringing the team down by not being a team player and she's not open to help from her teammates.

Good luck. :) Girls like her never last long.
