I just failed hard at basketball I couldn't even make the JV team, I got cut. I feel like I failed everyone who ever believed in me.I had 10-20 peoplebelieve in me, who belived that I would make varsity, some of them are even freshman and one of them was a girl who made womens varsity as a freshman. I letall of them down, how am I ever going to talk to any of them again. They all worked so hard to train me and I failed. I don't even know where my life isgoing now. All I had was basketball, I don't have many friends that I can hang out with outside of school, I don't have a girlfriend. I don't knowwhat to do. Can someone help me. I don't want anyone to flame me, I'm like mentally broken. I have to go to school tomorrow and let all those peoplewho told me that " You will NEVER make varsity" have a field day.
This was how I felt 3 days ago (Posted this on some other website):
I'm a little nervous, but I already know I'm gonna make the varsity team, if not start JV and swing varsity. I feel pretty laid back right now. I knowI'm gonna go out there and give it 110% if not more.
here some background info:
Over the summer I worked really hard, I was trained by my buddy who starts pg/sg at a university. I've never played on a basketball team of any kindbefore. I'm about 5"11 and 130 pounds(yeah really skinny). From what my buddy says, I'll play 2 guard or sg/sf cause I can shoot really well.I'm a junior in HS and I want to start JV, but I aim to make varsity. The major flaws in my game is that I can't drive to the basket and my defense isall wrong (The way I play def. is off balanced and awkward but I still get a lot of blocks) Now my problem is that I think I'm losing interest inbasketball, like I don't even want to try out in 2 weeks because of a number of factors.1. I thought the try-outs were going to be during thanksgiving weeklike last year. 2. two of my other buddies who used to play college ball were suppose to train me every Sunday in Nov. but now since try-outs are in 2 weeks Ionly have about 2 Sundays for them to train me, instead of four 3.I feel like I won't be able to improve my game's error's like being able to driveor playing better defense when try-outs roll around 4. meeting with the coach today and his reaction to me telling him about my hard work.
Now I know how far I've come in my skill level since the beginning of the summer, but It seems to me, that it's not enough. I want to start because thepeople that start now don't deserve it, they skip class and act like %*%holes and they think that their literally Jesus in basketball, for accomplishingnothing. I've had several talks about my confidence in myself, in the past, with several different more experienced HS and College basketball players, andthey have just about basically said the same thing "Believe in yourself!!! If you have dreams then reach for them and grab on to them no one's goingto hand them to you. Never say I can't do it, say I am going to do it!!!"
I've came a long way since I asked this question about 2-3 weeks ago. I fixed all the errors in my game that I had before, and my mental status is strongerthan ever.
(btw I'm not cocky just really confident)
some one help me please
