The coaches were/are trying to get you to focus on the competition at hand as well as not distracting the other players from their roles on the team

There are too many players.

It sounds like you worked and worked but didn't play. Sounds like you need to take some time and have some fun. Join a volley ball team, bowling team, go skating with some friends. You don't have to be good at it - in fact, that is what makes it even more fun.\nWhatever it is that you do, make it fun. You don't need more college degrees or more organization in your life or more success, you need to let loose and just relax and take it easy for awhile. Remember the key here is that you don't have to be good at it, but you must have a good time doing it.

You weren't socially acceptable because you went against the crowd. Though you were really doing the right thing, they are buttheads and have excluded you from the clique. Be to the point about it and ask them why they are being hypocrits... if they are rude find a new circle...

You certainly don't want to hear someone say this but please keep one thing in mind, not every person that tries out for a team get chosen.  Maybe there is a reason that you can't get it.  Maybe you are not cut out to be a cheerleader, maybe you should be on the team that is getting cheered on?

I think you should do what the coach says.  You can sit down with him in a one-on-one conversation and explain your side, but I think you have to abide by his decision even if it is not the one you want.  Otherwise, your coach might see you as a trouble maker and not play you at all.\n\nHe obviously sees something in you that speaks to him about your talent for playing on the line.  Go with the flow, explain your side in a grown up matter, but do what he says.

And this guy is a teammate ? You and the team captains need to pull him aside after practice and and resolve any tensions you might have and save that energy for your next opponent !!!!!!!!

I can only apply this to other situations as I know only enough about football to get by.... and I am not into it..BUT the concept and your point is very well taken by me as ther is the application of many other things that i can say thqt "I" know about and other have pretended to know about.....check this out: I( was at dinner with soe peope, and they actually were so boring that i MUST have looked like i wanted to be OUT of there, someone saidd what is wrong. My reply was..."It's ok.... I am ovulating...." and all fo the men said "OH yeah I have heard of that...wow that is really tough I have to hand it to ythere....you're a tough cookie" I nearly spit my drink out laughing. Should I have drawn them a diagram of fallopian tubes? should i have dropped my pants and give them a 'play by play' (*wink*) right on the spot for their ignorance? I mean when i don't know something, i know it will bite me in the butt if i pretend to know about it. I mean i cannot pretend to be a poet laureate, or a brainsurgeon.....I don't have enough data to bullshit my way thrugh it....but yes, i kow what you mean.,...I cannot say that it makes me mad, but it DOES expose them as fakes. I applaud your passion for the sport..i HAVE learned some about it from being married and asking and watching it....but i do not watch it. I DID tho get very into basket ball and can talk abutthat and i know what you mean.... in essence youhave a very valid point and i think you handled it very well.\nThanks...\nLioncourt

Just like you plead it there in your question...I could feel your passion in your words...When you talk to the coach talk only about yourself. Do not say , How could you not pick me...\nDo not talk about the guys he picked over you...\n Only talk about you...Say things like... I love this game, I think I can contribute things that can not be measured in those tryouts like ..passion, loyalty...desire...dependability and love of the game....Say...Know one...Even your best player....wants it more than me coach......Even if he does not let you on the team...he will never forget you I promise...

If you speak to the coach reasonably, he'll be reasonable with you as well.\n\nIf you ask "Why aren't you playing me more?", it means that you're questioning his coaching decisions... some coaches might not take that very well.\n\nYou might want to ask the question:  "What do I need to do to get more playing time?".\n\n\nThis will make it clear that it is you who want to improve, and it also establishes that you are willing to do whatever it takes to get more playing time.... and it shows that you're willing to take responsibility for your basketball 'career'....\n\njust make sure that if he does give you advice (such as extra practice on certain areas of your game) that you FOLLOW it... otherwise, he won't appreciate your complaint at all.\n\nRemember to make yourself the bad guy here ("what do I need to do") rather than making the coach the bad guy ('hey, you idiot, why aren't you playing me')\n\nLooking at some of the other answers, it looks like you're getting some pretty good advice here... good luck to you!   Get out there and kick a$$!\n\nAnd the poster that said "don't give up" is right.

Sounds like you were really excited to have him come to your party.  Too excited.  Too much pressure.  It sounds like he took your number to placate you.\n\nLet it go.

I was on my school's varsity team and got player of the year. You would think that I was cocky but I am completely the opposite.  I am always humble and polite. You would think that I was surrounded by girls but I was one of the shyest people at the school. I even wondered how some of the "nerds" were getting girls and I wasn't getting any.  Just remember that just because losers call us cocky bastards and we call losers losers doesn't mean that you guys are losers and were're cocky bastards. We're all the same. We just focused on two different things.

The tournament hasn't started yet. You're convicting before any crime has been committed.\n\nAre you female, by any chance?

I do not appreciate anyone demeaning anyone else.\n\nI remember in college I was a scrawny little 100lb 5'3 girl.  One day a friend and I went to a local pub.  While there we decided to play a couple of racks of pool.  I went up to the table and put my dollar down.  The guys who were playing picked up my dollar and told me "this table is for serious players only."  My friend who happened to be a guy put a $50 down and said he had the table next against the winner of that game.  When it was his turn - my friend turned to me and said "table's yours".  This brought about an uproar by the other players.  At this point my friend says "I bet my fifty that she can beat any one of you lot."\n\nThey gave me the "break" because they didn't want me to say I had an unfair disadvantage.  What they didn't know was that my friend and I were the local collegiate champions in mixed doubles billiards.  I ran the rack off the break 3 times.\n\nMy friend kept his fifty - I made fifty, and we drank fifty!\n\nJust goes to show you that you can't judge a book by it's cover!

I'm honest when I'm drunk, I say things I can't or wouldn't say in a normal situation. It's gotten me into trouble a few times.
