Tennis


Question Posted Tuesday December 6 2005, 1:02 am

I had tennis try outs today. I didn't expect to make it, because there were 40 guys fighting over 6 spots, so I wasn't too bumbed when I didn't make it.


My family is making comments about the coach and how they should have picked me, all in the spirit of making me feel better. But I got over it while I was walking off the court, how do I make them get over it?

Just say "I'm over it, you should be, too."

If they know you're alright with it, they'll stop. Chances are, though, that they're more ticked off than you are.

They are probably just saying that to make you feel better because they might not know you're over it. Make it known. Just say something like "It's okay. Really, it is. I would like it if I had made it, but I'm fine that I didn't. There's something else out there for me, and I'll get it eventually.."

This will show your parents that you are mature about the situation, and maybe they can stop attempting to make you feel better :)

Will families are like that, they just wanted you to get it. Id tell them " Im over it now" And now its up to them to get over it also. Dont worry, they'll be over it soon.

Hmm, first let them know that you don't see it as a such a big deal. I'm guessing they're doing that just because they're afraid that you're taking it in a bad way. If you show them that you're over it, they'll probably get over it soon. Also, you can point out the good points of not making it onto the team... like more free time to do homework [or hang out] and such.
