Should I give up something I love(soccer) because my teammates treat me like crap?! They try 2 make me look like i have no idea wat i am doing. When i get 2 play mo one gives me the ball, but wen i do get it i kick a-s-s. My coach says she wishes she had a whole team of me. But the other players are the ones i am having touble dealing with. What should i do?Should i quit?

let me tell you something! stop being a baby and show everyone that you are the best!!!! i am Italian and had the same problem but coz i was a goalkeeper and during a game we lost coz of mine mistake. everyone was making a fool of me but i knew that i was better than that so for the next 5 games i saved 2 penalty and made a lot save that the all team was surprised. i was ready to sign a contract with the parma an Italian team and the pay was great but i hurted my knee and couldn't go. i love soccer more then anything but i cant play professional anymore and you that can do it dint let other people stop you. and if you have more problem give me a call i ll come there and kick some ass

Well Jim,\n\n1. Getting cut from the team means that you haven't been practicing enough. I think that most of us who played some competitive sports realize that in order to make the cut you have to have a little more than a god-given talent. \nTry looking at this from a different pespective. Take this as a challenge! Learn your sport better so that when you try out again, you impress the holy tar outta them. Your confidence will send you on a high and you will feel so much better about yourself.\n2. Same answer as #1 but if depression is a problem with you try taking St John's Wort. It takes a couple of weeks to work, but HOT DANG!  It is soooo nice to not have that ugly feeling. I used it for awhile as a crutch through some hard times and it is nice to have. \n3. Same as #1 but if your depression gets severe, seek medical advice.\n4. Nothing to do with 1,2 or 3. Go get drunk and tell yourself you didn't like those people because they were snobby and full of themselves. Even  if you got on the team you would have had to quit because they were not a group you would want to associate with! Call a friend/family and let it all out!

It's possible she told him things that weren't true, just to 'get back' at you.  Try talking to him, one on one, ask him if there is something you can do to improve your game (I know and you know you're good, but it's a way of confronting without being confrontational).  If he still acts the same way, doesn't give you a chance, then he may just be a jerk, who cares more about his personal feelings than his team.  It's a tough lesson to learn, but there are tons of those people out there, whether in sports, or teachers, or bosses.  Good luck.

As a coach, I love it during tryouts when players do as they are instructed.   So PAY ATTENTION.   I also love it when players hustle to and from water breaks.   If they tell you to call the ball (mine!!!!) make sure you say it loudly - volleyball is all about communication and whispering doesnt' cut it!   Be happy to be there - don't chit chat with friends while waiting in line - be on time.......HAVE FUN!

my guess is that God's answer would be, stop worying about who wins and who looses, realize that I have made you with incredible talents and skills, use them and be thankful that I gave them to you.play ball

Hey, bldvl24, if soccer is pointless how come it's the most popular sport in the world BY FAR? \n\nFurthermore, if the goal is so wide as you describe, how come it's a LOW-SCORING sport? (Fortunately -- have you ever noticed how predictable and therefore boring your high-scoring sports are?)\n\nIn the future, try using some logic in your thinking, lest you become as moronic as the sports you like.

ok. first calm down. this is a very commen thing. like baseball players have slumps, so do basketball players. 1st play some bball on your own. pretend ppl are there but beat them. imagine yourself doing well. believe inyourself. also take this frustration as motivation show your couch and your coach you are dedicated and the you are a good player. Its all about 1 word RELENTLESS

This is not a place to ask this (SO, WHY HAVE YOU ANSWERED?)\n2 don't ask such childish questions (WHY NOT?)\n3 why don't you check the map skill if you really donno (BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW THE CAPITAL AND BECAUSE I WANTED TO KNOW IF FOREING PEOPLE KNOWS - SOME PEOPLE HAVE ANSEWERED "RIO DE JANEIRO")\n4 shame on you as a brazilian to ask this(REALLY!!)\n5 there is no use of you living in this world without knowing the country's capital (GOOD ADVICE!!)\nits brasillia - learn atleast now!! OH THANKS!! \n\nWERE YOU KIDDING? I THOUGHT YOUR JOKE WAS IN VERY "BAD TASTE" Try to be more polite next time. It will be good for you and good for the person who is readding.\n\n"VOCÊ ME OFENDEU" !(try to translate this!!)\n\nABOUT RIVALDO;\nBrazilians are very good on playing footbal. It is why lots of players are around the world, playing in others team. And it is why we have some problems when they get together again, here in Brazil, to train for the world cup. They feel difficulties to get along again.\nI am pround of many things in my country. Footbal is just a small part of this.\n\nGood luck!

i'd say go for something new.  it sounds like you might already have your mind made up about trying the co-ed route.  you can still stay friends or catch games of your old team and start a whole new thing w/the new co-ed team.  go for it girl!  you can do anything!

When you go to play the game treat it just like a practice. Don't play to impress anyone, but rather play because you love the game. Keep that same mentality at every game.  If you play because love what you are doing, instead of impressing someone you will do better. Most of all even the pros's have a bad day from time to time. Just do your best, and you will come out on top! Best of luck in the future.

I have never seen this happen on my boys' teams (Little League & soccer).  I strongly feel that this has to do with the league & the coaches - you need to let everyone know up front what the deal is.  One year, my son's soccer coach sent home a letter at the beginning of the season saying - I'm the coach, you're not, if you want to coach then volunteer.  He phrased it a little more kindly, but you get the idea.  Let your parents know up front what your expectations are for parents.  By the way, your record is irrelevant.  It doesn't matter if your team is horrible - so what - parents need to realize that their children are not going to become professional athletes.    I think you are awesome to volunteer.  My fellow parents & I treat our coaches great!

Generally as a wing i would hug the sideline but you may want to try and fient a lead into the centre. hand signals are handy to, becuase you can run one way and signal another then shake off defenders by snapping back in the other direction (signalled direction) I cant really help you with centre forward because i never really got that position but i can say that strong stick skills and maybe a few deflections will get you some goals. Go for gold.

Hi. You should go to the doctor and check if you can still play soccer. If the doctor say you are fine. Than go for it and have fun. Hope you have a nice day friend. Bye....

Encourage them, Go in and congratulate them when they score a goal.If you play D help your goalie out as much as you can, if u play Offense , get your stick on that puck as much as you can, make good passes, take shots on goal as soon as you take a chance, when the opposing team has the puck go get um, get ur stick tyed up in theirs. You might not be able to change your team but encourage them and try and play YOUR hardest, if one of your players on your team isnt playing their hardest, dont pay attention to him, do YOUR part in the game, and if you have a chance at the puck go get it.  Or you could always go discourage the other team, annoy them, mock them , etc... lol, jk. anyway do what YOU can, help your team out in the game as much as you can though. Good luck!!!

Your being a player, and you know this. You should attempt to grow up, and leave the girls alone until you do. People who act like you are, make all men and guys look bad.
