I play volleyball and I'm starting High school in the fall. ;D
I REALLY want to make a good team but the thing is that I have a HUGE rival who was on my team for the past years and she is soooo stuck up and snotty to me!!
I try to be friends with her and be polite but she is just waay to mean to me and always makes me feel bad.
Like one time when we just finished a hard drill, I gave everyone a high five and saying "good job" and when i got to her, she faked it and smoothed her hair and said "I know..."
GOD!!!! I just wanna kill her now!
So my question is how can I be sure to make a good team this fall and beat her??
I really want to prove to her that i'm better... but how??
how can i beat her???????????
oh and what are some ways that I can clear the whole 'rival competition' thing and get her to stop being so snotty?

If she's acting like this then she really wont be a good friend. She'll probably lie to you a lot. And spread rumors. Which she probably will. Im in 11th grade and i know from experience. I play softball, and Ive had girls on my team that dont like me, and are snotty, just like her. But know its only because your probably better then her. Just ignore her completly. You'll learn that letting things go are SO much better then worrying about it and getting into a fight. Its really not worth it. Just do your best at your games and act like shes not even there. It will work. Dont give up a sport you love, just because of some random chick who wants to make your life difficult. Its not worth it.
Hope I helped.

BUt here is a hint, you said "rival competition" thing. Well it takes two, just don't participate and there is no competition. Look, you are already a better person than she is. It is obvious that you are a team player and she's just conceited. Your coach will be able to figure that out. Your team members will appreciate you more for your team work. Just don't forget who you are. You're better. Just relax and you will show her up. No problem. Next great lesson to learn, is be patient. Your time will come. Stay true to yourself and your team, and don't let people like that get to you. (hey there's another lesson in there somewhere.)
Good luck to you.
