basketball
so i have been with this team for about 6 years and i work hard each summer and i'm still benched a lot throughout the whole season. I'm not very good friends with the people on the team and sometimes i think that i'm not that good. i'm torn between quitting when the season ends or sticking witht the team. it would only be one more year of it and then i'd be done. should i go through being benched a whole year again, and keep trying to improve, or should i just quit and let the stress and other drama be gone? help!

Practice I'm very good at basketball as well unlike you im not a bench warmer.Practicing really helps go to the park take 2,000 shots a day, lift weights, play people you know are far better then you i garuntee you will be the best player on your team in no time.Oh yeah coaches love hustlers. Hustle on each play,Dive for that loose ball in practice games,Make him see that you want that starting spot.What ever you do dont give up.

dont worry about what other ppl say keep improving and get better and then you wont be the bench warmer!

hey ya i know how getting benched can feel even tho i was one of the best on the team my coach just picked on me and ya i wanted toquit but i still loved the sprt and wanted to play. You may feel bad about yourself getting benched but if you love the sport enough then you'll keep doing it. Dont care what other people think because some of those people may not even be on a basketball team so u could say atleast i play to them. just do what u think you wont regret. hope i helped.
always jess

ok... well i dont know what your strengths or weaknesses are, so i cant really help you out that way, but if you could tell me what they are I can help you out better.
My junior year I played volleyball and I was benched because the seniors that year were good and my position was taken: setter. And I was like third-string. lol But anyways, I hated sitting on the bench BUT I learned alot. My senior year, we got new coaches and now I was the setter for our team. I think sitting on the bench helped out, as much as I didn't like it, but it did help me and I learned alot. Now with your situation you said you have one more year ? well if thats the case you need to ask yourself these questions:
How determined am I to improve?
If I quit, will I be happy with my decision?
See what your answers are and then make your decision... And let me know what you choose! :-)
I hope I helped!

i had the smae problem a month ago. what i did was i left. you already got a lot of stress and drama and you really dont need more in your life. try playin a different sport. but if you are cool wit the coach talk them, if not i would just suggest to leave dont waste your time at a sport were the team doesnt care about there players. so you as a player shouldnt care about the team. =) Hope this helps. and good luck

hi
why don't you try speaking to the coach or who ever is in charge?
tell him/her how your feeling?
stick with it, if you weren't good enough they would've thrown you out a long time ago ... or they wouldn't have let you join the team in the first place.
as for the friends issue, after training why dont you invite a few other players to get a coffee or w/e with you? im sure they would love to go.
keep trying to improve, show them that your good then you won't keep getting benched.
stick with it!!!!!
good luck x

Which one do you feel like you'd feel better about doing? Releasing the drama of bullshit or staying on the team? I'd stay on, but that's just me. Just to say I finished out.
