:help: Sorry, just a rant for those of you out there who sympathsize with my college swimming experience..
Okay, I have not spoken to my coach since his comment after my 100free at championships regarding the fact that I don't have any heart, and thats why I am swimming poorly. I can't imagine saying that someone doesn't have heart, when they've given sweat, blood and tears to the sport all in one season. If I wasn't caring that I was stinking, then maybe it would be reasonable to say I didn't have heart, but I was miserable and trying anything to improve my season...so that annoyed me, and I didn't talk to him for the rest of the meet, and haven't talked to him since.
Got an e-mail today that he is making it mandatory that we attend 3 practices a week with him, from now till the end of the semester.
#1. it has been 3 months since championships==why now?
#2. This is the most hectic time of the semester for EVERYONE
#3. I don't want to swim with him in the off season, which is why I am doing masters
:( Miserable in Albany
Morgan,I know you tried,but it also sounded like you were disheartened before the meet due to the lack of sprint training.I don't know how to advise you except talk to him and see if he can be reasonable. I don't know if letting him know you did better without him would help or make things worse.I don't recommend this as I don't know him,but I think I'd print out your threads here and our feedback and take it to him so he knows what he is dealing with(and hopefully how wrong he has been for you.):dunno:
