Hey Yall...
Idk if this is in the right place but ill attempt to ask the question anyway. heres some background:
Im a senior at my high school. ive played ball since i was 6. Ive played varsity since sophomore year (didnt play at all freshman year b/c of knee problems). I have been waitin for my senior year, to finally be accepted as a leader on the field and to have an awesome season! Near the end of the season last year, i had a crucial knee surgery that i had been puttin off b/c i wanted to finish the season for my team. everything went well, and then i had another surgery for my ankle to make sure that i would be 100% for my senior year. Its been tough gettin back, but i am. Heres the problem!
We just got a new coach. She doesnt know me b/c i didnt play summer ball with my school team, therefore she doesnt know my full potential. she does know about my surgeries, but she doesnt think im ready to play. i have told her over and over that i am fully cleared, im fine and that i know my own limits, yet she continues to "doubt my mobility." she continually makes me sit out at practice, no matter what i say. Not only this, but i also have a job. i have taken off everyday of the week, so i can practice everyday with the team. I had to miss a saturday practice last week because i was working. She approaches me on monday on the way to the game and tells me im not starting because i missed practice for work. she told me taht work is an unexcusable absence and that she needs to use me as an example for the consequences for missing practice. I sat out my first game of my senior year. i was devastated. I have never sat out an entire gmae in my whole life. its not the fact that i didnt play, its WHY i didnt play. I tried explaining to her that i have to work to support myself, yet she continued sayin it was unexcusable. and that from now on, if i missed a weekend practice because of work, i would not start and possibly not play the next game.
