Have you ever felt like you were stuck in a group where your voice could never be heard? They say to speak your mind and be open but when you try to they just cut you off like your not ever there?
It's tennis season. From September until early November, we work our asses off from 2 to 5pm in the afternoon. Hot and sweaaaty as fcuk, it seems like its never ending. I've been playing tennis since my freshman year so I already know wsup. Drills, suicides, lectures.. you eventually get used to it.. Since yesterday we lost, 8-10 against Downey, of course, as all the tennis girls know.. its time for "The Talk." We probably went through this 58469712 x times this season just 'cause on the fact that girls Varsity tennis has been undefeated league champs for 3 years and because we all are seniors, He expects more from us 'cause were oh so mature(:
So it was time for practice, I kinna lagged getting ready so when I walked through, I can already see Anita and Claudia talking about the stuff in tennis and how we work, even through we all heard it before. Anita loves speaking her mind, so I wasn't suprised because some of it was true on the fact that we always go through this, talk the same shit. Kinna gets annoying. Discussing our loss on how we should just get over it, I guess you can say "were not on the same page" So Claudia asked Cindy and Stephanie wsup. They didn't really say much but when Claudia had mentioned the whole "clique" no "communication" thing, I really was just fed up. I put my word into it..
I gotta admit, I was pretty emotional. I slacked on tennis this year and yeah I didn't go to the summer practices last year and this summer because of my trip to the Philippines but sometimes, it just sucks. This year, I know im not a starting player, including with Heather and Karen, but it really hurts when they say were not working hard or not improving when you don't even get the attention that you need in order to get better. I mean let me ask you this, even through your not a starting player, wouldn't you be pissed when they yell and tell you to improve but when can you when your separated? You never get asked to get drilled, you never play practice games.. all you do is rally for 3 damn hours in the burning hot sun. I mean I know I can complain, be a bitch, even a brat but still.. I mean especially because were supposed to be a team? I understand were not in that level, especially since we are like JV status but how can we "improve" if we don't do anything. You can't expect us to sub in and just win that match like a piece of cake. At least im out, doing something. I mean fcuk, im risking my damn ASB grade for this. It's hard. I know everyone has their issues but man.. especially 'cause im just posted, I gave up my damn social life for this, could be doing other things but I chose to be out there, at least to cheer you on. I mean at least I don't put my personal issues on the court yahknoo? I got my shit but at least I still act happy like nothings wrong. Sometimes its just too good to be true..
To me, you girls even know wsup. How were "not on the same page" I mean, were separated, in the court. To me I feel like we have no problem. Us whole as "a team," I don't think we have that problem either really. Separation down the court is basically the problem. What I said today coulda been pointless but whatever, I had to say something. I mean don't you get annoyed when they say this and that about the team. You know you say it and wanna say it so just say it god damnit! lol.
But lemme just put it straight, im not mad at you guys! aha. And if you feel unappreciated, I really appreciate you guys. Down the court with our tennis fits, sunblock sweat drippinnn lol. I mean to me, im surprised we all made it this far. Since our freshman year, I mean look what we could have done and we picked to stay in this damn sport lmao. I know its whatever right now but I know were gonna miss it. Just gotta say, good luck this season. We still got time, dooon't even trip(: You guys can get on my nerves but I love you guys, no homoo. We'll have our shit but we'll have our good shit. Our team's bittersweet thats all I gotta say, no matter how bad or good we are, you guys always make my day(:
