I don't really think you should have to run an hour. Especially for people with asthma, you could pass out. And you should definitely try to work it out with your coach about missing the game. It's a little rude to say all those things about a fundraiser for a kid that died. So tell him how important it is to your bestfriend for you to come. Or have your parents call him and explain.
WOW, calm down Mrs. Lets look at this in 2 parts firstly how your coach reacted to your last game then we'll go on to the missing a game. When I coached a girls football team I looked at them all as my Daughters, that meant I didn't scream or shout at them and I tried to talk to them calmly and not pick an individual out for praise or to tell them off. If I wanted to do this I'd pull them aside and speak to them. Now I can see where your coach is coming from by drilling you all on a certain thing that he feels is wrong I'd do that as well just so you understood where you were going wrong and as a team you'll learn from it.
I would imagine that your coach has some form of formal education in training young people as you really can't just turn up off the street and say your a coach, he might not be as good as your previous one but you'll need to learn stuff from him like wise he'll need to learn how to talk to you, so try and not undermine him yet. As for missing a game, I was hit with a few good ones in my time like I'm horse riding or I have an athletic meet. That is what I call having a prior arrangement, your friend surely would come up to you in say Wednesday and tell you about the fund raiser for Saturday would she? If you have anything on that clashes with a game then tell your coach as soon as you know. That way it'll give him time to calm down and reassess what tactics he'll need to deploy, giving you an ultimatum of go there and get lost is not the way to have a relationship with anyone, even when you are older and have a first love situation going on, why would you let your boyfriend give you a put out or we are finished line, pure blackmail and as an adult he ought to know better.
In relation as to who runs your team that responsibility is purely down to your coach, the League President should have no day to day running of your team, but as one of the other contributors said get your Dad to call him and tell him what's going on or even approach the coach with the threat of going to the President, If he did that then I would think you would see a change in his attitude. Get your parents involved in this as it is important to you and your future as a soccer player.
shoot their then...
Holy shoot. Long story, so I am a 13 year old girl, I'm a competitive soccer player and my team got switched this year. This year, we got a new team. Only five kids on my team know how to play soccer including me. As you know, that is not good. Anyways, my coach is a little ****. He thinks he knows everything. Today, was our first game and we won 4-0. He was so mad because we were not running our lines so we are running for an hour at practice and running our lines on Saturday because we are going against the best team in our league on Sunday. The five kids who can play soccer are mid-fielders, and no one else understands how to play. He said that if I can't come on Saturday to not come at all. I explained to him why I couldn't come. The reason is my best friend is having a fundraiser for her brother who died two years ago and he says he doesn't give a ****. My dad paid 500$ For me to play ALL THE GAMES I WANT. ITS NOT HIS CHOICE TO NOT LET ME PLAY BECAUSE THE LEAUGE PRESIDENT IS IN CHARGE AND IT CLEARLY STATES THAT IN THE PAPERS WE SIGNED. Sorry, I'm just angry..,, Do you think that is right??
