I'm pissed off at my soccer coach
Ok so I'm on a soccer team right. So you think that I would play well if you did then you were wrong. So we have had like 3 games so far and he has put everyone else in BUT me and it just pisses me off every time and it just makes me more and more sad everytime. I dont know what I can do to show my Coach that I am good enough to play. I understand that I'm not as good as some of the upper classmen but I'm good in my own way. I kick the ball hard, I do good passes(a lot of the time) and I pay attention when Coach is talking. I even ask for help when I dont get how to do something and even if I dont ask for help my friends always help me.
My friend Steph is as good as me and neither of us has played. Steph almost got to go in today and I was happy for her but I was sad that I didn't get to play. Dont get me wrong I love her to death but who wouldn't want a chance to show that you are good enough. I really like playing but with this all happening I am actually thinking about quitting. Even though I have done a lot of hard work for this I just don't know if being a benchwarmer for the rest of the season is going to cut it for me. I have cried so much over this and I keep telling my self that it is nothing worth crying over but when we lose and I dont get to play either it kinda gets to me. It's sad when everyone of your friends comes up to you and asks if you are ok and you have to reply 'no I'm not because Coach plays everyone but me and it just kills me that I have worked so hard and I dont get to show it'. Then on top of it we have pratice everyay after school and when we dont have pratice after school its games or something. We even have pratice on Saturday from 9-11:30 so it just kills.
I dont know what I should do can you guys give me some advice?
Love always

I know how it feels to be left out of something. Trust me i was shunned away out of groups and stuff like that and i did get upset about it. You want to know something else, i played soccer to back when i was 7yr. and i sat on the bench for half of the season. It really sucked, even when we had games. My parents saw me on the bench and just looked at them. I know the feeling of people thinking your not being good enough when u really are.
This is what i did to get in the game, first go up to ur coach. All the coach will do is say what u want to hear, DONT let him do that. Stand up to and speak your mind, tell u want to be in the alot more often. Then prove that u are really good during practice. I can tell that u r really good at soccer em, and so good luck ^^

ask him to put you in, cause thats what i do most of the time if i want to go in in a spot that would work. thats why we won almost all of our games this summer. or at least thats what i think cause i would only go in for defense or goal.

Maybe you should say something to him, rant to him maybe. I did that to my science teacher last year because she was a b*tch. She actually listened and U got the right hrades for the rest of the year.
