so today was my first day w/ the new jv coaches (i was training w/ varsity but i guess im bk to jv) (fyi: been playin for tennis my whole high school career aka 4yrs im senior too if u didnt kno.) so yeah im supposed to be on varsity but i got bumped down. sad i was actually ok but u kno its still kinda sad... oh well. anyways back to my rant. So our original head coach had to 'retire' due to family issues but he still comes by to visit when he can. so the old new jv coach (he was new last yr) became the new head coach. He's really good at playing and whatnot and know his rules. on the other hand, the new jv coachs (both girls. first female coaches i've had since elementary) dont kno squat (haha i watch my language) bout tennis. like they kno the basics and tat's it. they can't even play tat well either and preach one way and do another. (hate those ppl). another huge issue is that they used to coach our rival/sister school central. (we're east no relation to hsm) thing is, they kno lacrosse. coached it for wat 8 yrs or so. this is their first yr of tennis (and they boast on how they kno how to coach but ur still not a good coach if u can't help the improve ur players much. they dont really give good tips like the other coaches i've had for tennis or the guys that helped out during practice) and they're like trying to take over EVERYTHING! i've been through this and kno everything, i can help but they'll probably just shoved me off... -.- and of course in highschool, freshman do the labor like getting equipment out and putting it bk and etc. yet now they're makin a sched for everyone to do it... WTH!? im a senior and i hate how this is the worst WORST yr ever! i mean freshmen yr was ugh but soo much better. (hopefully it will get better but who knos) and they keep wearing central tees and stuff to practice... i mean come on!!! wearin our rival's stuff!? shez... oh yeah the preach one way act another example. so they are like always go for the ball, run and get faster/endurance, etc. yet!!! they can't even do that. they're tired after sprinting a little. ok so i get u're not used to sprinting since they're long distance runners but i mean still! we have some not fit ppl in our team and they do just fine. they get tired and complain but they still try. i mean we were practicing doin queen of the court and there was a ball that was hit right next to coach smity and she just stood there. they're like "oh and we'll join" yet no after like playing twice w/ the "queen" they quit. (ok so queen of the court is where a person is queen on one side of the court and ppl challenger her one on one to play best of 3.) so as jv continues to suck, they're deciding if we work hard we can get out of practice early... reallly!? like i get like 10 15 min likes we did when our head coach was here/ the current head coach but like 1hr!? psh i mean if we were amazing ill be like oh cool but no, we're not good cuz a lot of the jv are new ppl that only played tennis during gym. also they're making us practice more seriously. ok so yes we do goof off but its like when we're either in line waiting for our turn in a drill or when we're pickin up balls where we goof off. its more like bonding cuz all my yrs of playin tennis, we'd do that and like joke around helping us to not stress so much and relax a little. besides we do give tips to each other or like congrat each other on like a good shot or something. like its how we bond. we dont see much of each other in school let alone outside of school so we can only bond when we're together. my problem now is, how are we dealin w/ away games... this will be ugh...
i kno that this rant is just all over the place and i still have more but im too fumed to write well. and im sorry if i bored u. but i hope u understand where im coming from (im may seem unreasonable but u dont kno them personally). i tells it like i feels it. tanks for reading, if u do.
