it's a bit hard and long to explain, but i'll give you the gist:
ok i'm going to be a senior next year and i've been playing soccer for about 11 years, but i'm not like amazing or anything. i've been on the school team all throughout high school and i was on the varsity team last year. so we have these summer practices like twice a week all throughout july and august and then a preseason/tryout week which is pretty brutal.
so last year after the tryouts, the coach told me and this other girl who is in my grade that we probably won't get much playing time...and we hardly did. we would either play like 5-10 min. of a game or not at all. this was really frustrating and we were both mad because we do just as much as everyone else and we practice as hard as everyone else, yet these little freshman sometimes play more than us. and the coach is basically an idiot.
usually the seniors are captains, but now, for some reason the coach made this junior girl in charge of running everything and all the other girls are really mad about this, including the 5 seniors. so i was debating whether i should even go out for the team because i'm not sure what it's going to be like next year.
like i could either go to all the summer practices and do all the intense running and stuff (and it's really hot haha) and make the team, but i probably won't play. but i can't imagine like not being on the team, and especially with all the perks of being a senior on the team (but that might not even be the case next year)...
or i could not go out for the team and this way i don't have to waste all that time everyday after school and all throughout summer only to probably not play at all, but then i won't be part of the team, which is just so weird...
ya so sorry for making this soooo long, but i just wanted to see what you guys thought of this.
i don't think you should waste your time with it. i'm not insulting soccer, i'm just saying, you ARE a senior now, and you need to get your priorities straight. i would put soccer on the list since you have been on a team so long, but since you're not really doing anything..i think it's time to let go of it. if you still want to play, then DEFINITELY say something to this coach of yours. tell him/her you need and/or want to play more and it's not fair that the stupid freshmans get to play and you don't.
you can take this advice, or leave it.
but if you decide to drop playing and take my advice, in 10 years..please don't blame me for not staying with it.
i think you should make your own team of the 5 pissed off seniors plus more cool people and then PLAY like you've never played before!
ya my coach isn't really the guy you can talk to. he told my friend who had the same problem the previous year that he "just got so caught up in the game that he forgot" and she would remind him and he still didn't put her in.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no i totally appreciate the advice. it's not like i'm going to be a professional soccer player...no way! i wasn't even going to continue in college, but this was just going to be my last year ya know...

hahaha that's sooo weird because i was just talking to one of the "pissed off seniors" and a "pissed off junior" and i brought up this idea and said we should totally do it hahaha
great minds think a like!
ya...elementary school!!!!!
anytime, anytime.
you guys are just too cool!
Soccer is much too fun to just give up. Especially if you're planning on giving it up completely in a year. But that doesn't mean you have to be on the high school team.
and my complaint? my cell phone just decided to not work. It doesn't tell me I have voicemails, or missed calls, and sometimes when someone calls it goes straight to voicemail for no reason, like even when it's on and I have service it still goes to voicemail.
I think I need a new phone/ new provider/ something.
great minds think a like!
hehe
At least I have you guys.

Aww, that's so awful. I've definitely been in that situation.
But the internet is so much more fun than real life.
Though sometimes I feel bad for not having a life...lol
Hah, I sound so angsty. I'm just kind of pissed at my own friends and their assholieness.
Having a life is good, I guess. But this is fun too.
And I haven't met anyone like any of you either.
The wonders of Internet.
Indiana's cool.
Much love to internet peoples!

yea my friends have been alot like that lately too.
like because i go for walks by myself, and bike around to places i like, i dont have a life.
i guess not having a new layout for myspace every other week also means u dont have a life..

Exactly. Spending time with yourself doesn't mean you don't have a life.
It just means you love yourself.
And yes, I'd rather stay home making cupcakes...and promptly devouring every one of them.
