Question Posted Monday September 13 2004, 8:42 pm

Ok..im on a really good volleyball team. in the past like 10 yrs we've won alot of state championships. But the thing is..she over works us. everyday we run a mile..then we go in the gym for about 2 hrs n half and just do volleyball. If we mess up..we do punishments..she yells like never before. We do suicides if we miss a serve or do a error. Its starting to get to me..i want to be perfect..and its stressing me out. How do i stop this?

The coach is pushing you because she wants your team to be successful! The running and punishiment will pay off. You will be in shape and have dicipline. When she makes ya'll run because of a missed serve, it makes you concentrate on not messing up next time. Just dont give up. Love! Micah

Well, can you give me tips?
Its my first year (at my middle school) and she wants us perfect.

well, do the best you can, and if she wants you to do better then what your ding, and you can't... tell her how you feel, she'll yell at you, but i may be cut off the team if i don't yell "Got It, got, mine.."or ne thing like that. and we got it easy, but not for long.. we've been winning our games so far, its OUR year, and if you're doing your best, you should be proud.

if you want it to stop then the way way is to quit the team. if you dont want to quit then there is no other way. why do you think you guys have wons the championships for the past ten years, because yins practice and work at it really hard to be good. she is just doing it to get you guys in shape and to get your team to be good so you can continue ging to championship games and winning them. i am sure it will get easier as time goes on.

If you're on a competitive team, get used to the intensity. If you can't take it, quit.

God... are you sure you don't have the same coach as me? I know how you feel, believe me. My coach is the same way. He accepts nothing less than perfect at practice. Whenever we err, he makes us run suicides, duck walks, wall sits, leg lifts, etc. I know it can be really stressing, and it's going to be hard to do, but tell your coach how you feel about it. Ask a friend or two from the team to go with you if that makes you feel more comfortable. The most important thing between a coach and a player is communication and understanding. That's the most important thing in any relationship. If you need additional help, feel free to email me:

Hey, I think having high standards and trying your absolute best is great, but overworking yourself and having the idea in your head that you have to be perfect is definately not ok. If you`ve worked with your coach for awhile , you might feel comfortable talking to her. I know i feel more comfortable being honest and straight out with the coaches ive worked with for a few years.If you dont feel comfortable about talking to your coach , maybe someone else on the team would. Im sure your not the only one feeling overwelmed. Just be satisfied with yourself when you know you tried your hardest and gave it your all. I played a tennis match today and felt satisfied with it, while my coach didnt feel satisfied about it. I just brushed that off because I knew i always played my best. Dont be so hard on yourself hun!
Hope i helped out a lil? good luck ..talk to me if u run into any more probs
