What and when to talk to my coach about me not playing lacrosse
Question Posted Thursday February 18 2016, 1:54 pm
I play lacrosse on a travel team and I've always played on my school team in the spring. this year I do not want to play on the school team but my coach thinks I am trying out. Today there is a mandatory meeting for all girls trying out for the team. I am not trying out so I don't know if I should attend the meeting or not. But later on today I have lacrosse practice with my travel team but my coach for the travel team is the same coach as the school team. Should I go to the meeting and tell her at practice later that I am not playing on the school team? Or should I not go to the meeting so she knows I'm not gonna play and then explain to her at practice later why I am not trying out? HELP

Lets say a guy whom you have dated is hinting that he has fallen in love with you and assumes you feel the same and tells you to meet him at a really fancy restaurant because he wants to splurge on you that night and also expects you'll go out to a movie or dancing after as you usually do. Now lets say you have changed your mind and no longer are interested in him. But he still thinks you are.
So does it make sense to allow him to take you out and pay for your dinner and movie after and during the movie you finally tell him you don't feel the same about him anymore? No it doesnt. It isn't nice to allow him to be counting on you still being into him and allowing him to pay for your dinner. Thats like you attending a meeting for players when you don't intend to be a lacrosse player anymore. It just doesnt make sense. Call the person and let them know now. You should have said something long before now, last time you saw her at practice but since you've waiting til backed up against a meeting, you'll just have to call.
