I play soccer and I made the school team.
Some background info you should know about me- I've been playing soccer for about 12 years, I play for an elite club team and not to be cocky, but I think I'm a great player. In the past few years for my old school, i've always been a "benchwarmer".. meaning I didn't get to play much in games. I am SO sick of being a benchwarmer. i really want to be on the starting lineup and right now i'm working my ass off to be on the starting lineup.
Well there's this other chick on the team who is from a different state. She plays the same position as me. I've competed against other girls before.. but this time its so weird. I feel like i'm working really hard to earn my spot, but the coach always picks the other girl over me. She gives her more recognition and acknowledges her more than me. She is an okay player, but I know that i'm better than her. Its not fair that i'm working really hard but the coach is acknowledging her more.
I'm really stuck on what to do. I know I shouldn't have a bad attitude, so i'm trying my best to stay positive and work harder. But it seems like no matter what I do or how hard I try, the coach will always pick her over me.
we have our first scrimmage in 2 days and if i'm not on the starting lineup then, then I'm going to talk to the coach and ask her whats going on. But what else do you suggest I do? thanks! (link)

Coaches will always put their best players in their starting line-up. That being said...you probably aren't doing your best while playing. If you know that you are better than your teammate, show initiative. Whenever your coach puts you in, show him all of the hard work you have done. When your coach comes to his senses and sees that you know what you are doing, he will put you in the starting line-up. Work hard and hang in there. Only time will tell. Best of luck. LOL I'm Mexican and play soccer so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm saying.
