Cut from my team
I got cut from my high school team after I worked harder than all the other kids and the coach threw salt in the wound. He told me my fitness is insane I should do cross country. I don’t understand i’m not gonna put players down and say they didn’t deserve to make it but I was clearly a top player on the team. I emailed the coach about it even though he doesn’t respond to his email; I’ll probably end up showing up after practice and talking to him or the JV coach about it because I genuinely thought my biggest problem this year was gonna be whether I made JV or Var.
I understand it’s not the end of the world and i’ll have another opportunity next year, but i’m bewildered because I don’t know what I did wrong, I will have to tell people I got cut, and overall I don’t feel like I deserve to be cut. I failed a passing test 2 weeks ago one of the only practices the var coach was watching and I think that may be why but I was having a bad day and I know that’s not an excuse but i’m so lost and I don’t know what to do. It feels like my worlds collapsed even if it’s high school soccer because I’ve been playing since I was extremely young and it’s gonna feel so weird to not go and play every day after school. I just need closure. I know i’m ranting and I don’t know what to do but I kinda just wanted to get it out and hear your guys thoughts.
