Ok so im senior and i play football for my highschool. This summer during the off season there were workouts at the school 2 times a week..it was optional but alot of players went. Well i didnt go to any of those workouts or team camp. I had to work at a job i already committed to..and i was goin through some personal issues with my fam. It really brought me down. So today..the coach sat me down..and told me..i was not in good physical shape and that i was not quick on the field. He also told me he was dissappointed in me and said that i would not be starter. I was really shocked..i didnt think i did that bad at practice. What do you think hes trying to do and what should i do?

Dont let anyone put you down! you should be proud that you chose the working world, I would explain to him that you love the game and unfortunately you had to be grown up and earn some money tell him you werent laying on the couch all summer, and you will prove to him what a valuable player you are. get in better shape, run to increase your speed. Play Hard good luck Brie

The coach is looking for guys that want to eat, sleep and dream about football 24/7. He's very driven. Sometimes that is not a good thing. He probably has a lot of kids on the team who are "dedicated" enough to make him happy, so he doesn't have to settle for kids who are not 110% committed.
You didn't do anything wrong. And you have to set your own priorities. I don't think it is football, or you would have made the necessary changes that you had to make to be there. Your family also would have made sure that you were able to dedicate yourself to football, and nothing else. YOu know "sports parents". Maybe that is not what your life is turning out to be. You may not be destined for a life in sports, and maybe you can go on to college and find something that you can be passionate about. Like the HS coach is passionate about football.
So you can work real hard at it, and get in shape in a couple of weeks. I guess what I am trying to say is that you can turn this around if you want too, and if you make the effort, he will notice. Ultimately it is up to you, and yes I know it is hard to make these decisions because we can't see the future. Just make the best of whatever your decision turns out to be.
GOod luck to you
