Ok, some of you may know that I play tennis. Well I don't anymore. Yes, I quit. I went agaisnt my own morals and quit in the middle of the season. I feel absolutely aweful about it because I love playing tennis and I know Im letting the team down.
But here is my reasoning. Now I consider myself quite good. I can hit pretty equally with both our one and two single players. Now I was pulled up as a sophmore to play varsity and I played 4th singles that year. My junior year i started at 2nd doubles and finished playing 1st doubles. Now I came into this year exspecting to be playing 1st or 2nd doubles and I did. Now after the first couple matches our coach moved my partner and I down to 3rd doubles. Now we did get beat out by the current number one doubles team but not by the second doubles team. Now I was not happy but ok with it. Now up untill this week my partner and I have been playing awsome and winning most matches. We had a match on wednesday agaisnt a good team that probably should have beaten us, but we played the best match of our lives and beat them. We have this great momentom, feel great about played, we are psyched up for every match and even practice. Then out of the blue before the match on wednesday, she sits my partner and I. No reason, we did nothing wrong, nothing. At our practice on Friday, she announced the line up for this saterday's tourny. We were not playing again. Her reasoning was shes not sure of the line up yet. WE ARE HALF WAY THROUGH THE SEASON!!!! She should have the line up done by now. I told her if I was not playing then I will not be going to the tourny 2 hours away just to sit there. We had a very long decusion about it and she basically said that if I don't go then Im off the team.
Now, I didn't go today so I am done. I know you guys don't know all the other little things that also had gone on while I have been on the team but there has been alot of them. But please just make an honest, but yet intelligent responce, I just want to know what you guys think.
