A Coach with no Respect
I'm on the volleyball team at my high school and this will be my senior year. The coach (let's call him "Coach A") has been the head coach for only a year, this year being his second. The coach before him was awesome and respectful to every girl on the team and never once did I feel like I wanted to stop playing the sport i loved. Now 'Coach A' constantly reminds us that he doesn't care about our feelings or opinions. I know that the coach is the leader but shouldn't he atleast value the opinions of his players? He treats the seniors, juniors and sophmores like we are nothing but robots to win games and build his image with the coaches at the other schools. This is "his" team not "our" team so he thinks. I've been playing for 10 years and can't stand aside any longer while he doesn't give me the respect of a person, let alone a player. ALL of the seniors feel this way and we make up the majority of the team. I've brought his actions to him by myself but he simply tells me that if I don't like the way he runs it I should quit. This is last year and I refuse to give into an idiot. Should I talk to the principal?
Thanks,

First off, let me just say that volleyball rules and is an absolutely amazing sport.
Back on topic:
I know exactaly what you are dealing with. You should have a private group discussion with your team, maybe talk about how you could sit down with your coach and talk to them about how ALL of you feel. If they are not all comfortable with that, then you can definately talk to the principal, it would help if you had a petition or paper signed with the signatures of the other players who feel the exact same way. Im not sure how involved the players parents are, but last time we had a disrespectful coach, the parents all got together with our coach and talked to her themselves.
Good Luck!!!!

Yes, I do believe you should talk to the principal. But get the whole team. If you all have a problem. Show the principal that.
I find is discusting how some coaches think they need to completely disrespect their students to win games.
It's rediculous.
