I Hate My Coach Today Because...

Every volleyball practice, I'll really try my best to make this post: I hate my coach today because.. This is where I'll put all my madness in our coach. Ok Game!

I HATE MY COACH TODAY BECAUSE:

1)He made us wait for him. Its true! We waited for him for a not-so-long time before he arrived. Didn't he know that practices start at 4PM?! He even told so himself! He's the coach! He needs to be early to manage the things coaches usually do. He gives out intructions, you know.

2)He made us wait for the quick spikers to do whatever. They are not the only players, you know. What was the warm up for if we are gonna get cooled down because of waiting for the quick spikers. There are 5 or 6 quick spikers and 2 setters and each of those spikers would have to spike in the middle, left, right, and extreme right side of the court. I hate resting just after warming up. There are 13+ members and he is just training the 6 players which are not all in the first six + libero! In effect, the exercise after that wherein we (liberos) have to recieve the ball for the setters, I had a hard time getting back my rhythm.

3)He made us look for the ball instead of having a practice game. Instead of training the first 6 + libero vs the others, he made us look for the missing balls. Let me talk in Filipino first: Imbes na maglaro kami at mag-improve yung game namin, pinahanap sa amin yung bola. Eh, pwede namang hanapin yun after training diba? As if it would make a difference finding the ball at that moment from finding the ball after training because we were the only ones left in the covered courts, again.

4)He gave us a hard time in the leg exercises. I hate that leg excercises. We are just teens, you know! We easily get tired. We're tired from school then you even give us a harder time in training. And when we arrive in our homes we go straight to bed and don't study?! That leg excercise was just brutal. Sana man lang, pakaunti - konti lang.

5)He made me (almost) bitter after I talked to him after practice. I told him that I will not go to practice on Thursday because of the Math and Science long tests the following day. Then his reply, "Ganyan naman parati eh. Edi wag ka na lang pumunta. Ako naman ang sisisihin kapag bumagsak ka." Well, duh! I'm a STUDENT-athlete. Even from the compound word, student comes first and I must focus more on my studies than volleyball. If I need to study for a long test, I must not go to the training. I must study hard! This is the last long test before the exams so I must pull my grades back up again. I hate failing in Math and Science! So, I must not really go.

Well, these are just some of the things that I hated the coach today. There are still stuff like the running excercise after the leg excercise. There is still the mean look on his face when we were at the vending machine. Wah! I hope I can post again later. I'll be probably posting on what happened today... which was a good day. See yah!
