Volleyball
Sorry its so long.. but u need to hear the WHOLE situation to understand..
OK.. My coach and I used to get along really well. I play setter and I have for almost 4 seasons. Well.. im now on the high school JV team.. and theres another setter. OK fine. Well.. coach just GAVE her the position of starting (she didnt have to work for it). I asked him why.. and he said its because i dont work hard enough in practice. I argued with him about it for a few minutes and he just wouldnt listen to me. He said I need to work hard to earn my position. But in practice, I go out there and work my ass off. And this other chik just goofs off and stuff. None of our hitters like her.. and coach dont realize im the better setter (sounds conceided(sp?) but thats what all the hitters tell me)
I guess what im tryin to get at.. What can I do to prove to my coach that I really am workin my ass off out there to earn my spot in a game? And to prove that im the better setter on the team

Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
I have a hockey coach that does the same thing. He plays the worse goalie (not me) and wonders why we lose games. He once yelled at me for letting in 3 goals in a game that we won 9-3. As he was yelling at me he said that there is a huge difference between the starting goalie's work ethic and mine which is bull. I am positive I work harder than her. What I an trying to get at is to hang with it. If you feel comforable talking to your coach, ask him/her what you could do to work harder. That tends to go along way with coaches.

I know exactly how you feel and the same thing happend to me last season... my coaches are dush bags and she got to dress varsity for every game... she wasnt nearly as good as me, she cant jump, spike, set, bump.. all of the above u know... and her serves werent even very good... she was a bitch... but the reason she played over me was b/c she was popular... and i am not... she moved now and i start varsity as the setter... she plays up north and doesnt even start J.V. i guess they learnd that she aint very good after all huh? well neways she was such a biyatch that i didnt even like talkin to her.. and i worked alot harder than her in practice too... i played all of every J.V. game, and she got taken out in the front row... so, i think u should just see what happens and if ur coaches are as stubborn as mine, then there isnt much u can do except keep tryin to improve,... maybe next year they will realize how good you are and how much your team needs you... hope i helped... pc

Okay, sorry this won't be too helpful, because I don't know a lot about volleyball.
But ask him if you can go against her in setting. Like to see whos better (sorry if this doesn't make sense)
Does he seem like the type of guy that would put her because she's a pretty face, or big breasts or something? If so, then there isn't much you can do. DON'T argue. That's the last thing to do. You could get kicked off the team, or in dome type of trouble.
Tell him that you feel you aren't getting a fair chance. And if he says something like life isn't fair, then you're screwed, and he's not going to make it better. I know your giving it 100% out there, but try to give it 150% Try harder. I know that's probably not what you want to here, but I can't form what I want to say into words that you'll understand, so this is all I can give. I hope that I helped in some way. Sorry if I didn't.

don't argue. the coach could get really pissed off and kick you off. you never know. practice harder than you are now and really concentrate. help other people. show him you're responsible and good at the position you deserve to play. good luck!

well it sounds like your couch is somekind of petafile and likes how that other girl looks...well theres two ways of slving this...1- beat the shit out of that one girl and that way she is really ugly and cant come to practice..but i suggest you dont do that,,
2--you tell your couch and show him that your better...you could probably have other people help you out..like tell your friends to complain about her and how your better then her....should work or just plain beat her up..yup and good luck

Omg my coaches were the same way with basketball and volleyball for me. A lot of times they're just watching the other people because they know you're really good and then they start to think that the other person is better. Just work your butt off during practices and work really hard.. your coach will pay more attention to you again. Work harder than you did before. Then he'll put you in the game as the better setter and the starting position. Hope I helped! Leave me one if I can do anything for you! =c)
Love, RacheL
Also, don't argue with your coach.. it'll just make it worse.

try working harder at practice and show your coach that you can work hard and that you really care about volleyball and at games try your hardest and just do your best even if you fail.

Dear Volleyball,
It's unforunate that your coach does not see that you are working so hard out there on the court during pratice. What you will need to do is sit down with him again, and ask what it is exactly that he feels you are not working on hard enough and what you can do to change. Tell him volleyball really is a passion for you and you would like to work on becoming a starting setter. If that doesn't work. He may very well be playing favorites.

It seems to me that your coach is a hard headed person. Because of this fact, I don't recommend you really argue your point with him. This make things worse. He might get fed up to the point where your position on the team will be threatened ( and trust me this is a possibility). Arguing can have bad effects This may not sound like what you want to hear, but just keep on playing usually and wait for fate to kick in. If you are really meant to be a star hitter, eventually the coach will realize that you are an asset to the team and give you a position fitting your talent.
In the meantime, I don't recommend you push the matter.
Good Luck
