tennis team


Question Posted Monday March 27 2006, 7:28 pm

i just tried out for tennis and i did amazing at the tryout. ive been playing since forever, so it was a given that id do well. i played the best ive ever played, it was aweseome. but then i went to look at the list of people who made it, i wasnt on it, but the girl who constantly hit the ball into the net did, the girl who doesnt follow through did, the girl who i beat every time i played her did. and i feel like crap. i cant stop crying, i feel like everything that i have worked for has just fallen apart. why would this happen, is it common that the better players don't make the team> and does anyone have anything to help lift my spirits i am usually pretty happy, but i really cant think of anything that could cheer me up right now..

I think that you should talk to the coach about it. Approach it in a good way though, not as a complaint. Say that you thought you did very well at the tryout, but somehow didn't make the team, what could you work on before next year to improve your game enough to make the team? Don't go pointing fingers and blaming the coach. Be very nice, but sad about it. Who knows, it could have been a mistake. Plus, your concern may make the coach change their mind. Good luck.

well, the exact same thing happened to me. cept it was for basketball. i felt terrrrible!!! i loved basketball and was sooo bummed that i didnt get the team! an dyes there were people that completely sucked at the tryouts and made it. so i didnt understand why i didnt at first. what you should do is talk to your coach and ask why y ou didnt make it. thats what idid. cept i didnt exactly get the answer i wanted... they said i was "too short" and that they "didnt need me" i swear i felt like slapping them and saying "am i too short to do that!?!" but trust me. you will get over it. hope this helps!

hmm..this may be totally wrong, but sometimes coaches pick players they know er coached before, rather than players they don't. i'm not saying that's definately the case, but it could be an option. don't feel bad about yourself. tennis isn't the only sport out there & plus juss because you aren't on the team doesn't mean you can't still enjoy it. you can go to camps & work at it & come back next year & make it, ya know?? camps probably aren't that expensive & they probably have some neat ones during the summer. practice makes perfect.

-hope that helped!♥
