<p>it's like a love-hate thing...i dont get it.
he smiles at me all the time and compliments me off the field but at times he yells at me so so much when we're on the field.
(i play soccer--girls varsity)
i almost cried today lol
is this normal?
everyone notices he picks on me and one coach even noticed it and asked him about it. what the hell?
everywhere else he's always smiling at me</p>
<p>High school coaches sometimes have an interest in their players…if you know what I mean. It could be that.</p>
<p>Or you’re an easy target to release anger on. Don’t let it get to you. I’m sure you’re fine.</p>
<p>i just dont like being yelled at 
it’s making me hate playing</p>
<p>Tell…him…?</p>
<p>-____-
last week, i semi-yelled at him and he basically got the idea.</p>
<p>First off, it’s soccer.There is no reason why you should cry because you got yelled at. Seriously, toughen up.</p>
<p>Soccer coaches are neither mean, nor hardcore compared to coaches in other sports. </p>
<p>My track coach once tried to indimidate me once by yelling at me because I didn’t bring this paper thing. I almost started laughing. He’s this asian guy that’s 2 inches shorter than me. </p>
<p>Yelling doesn’t really get to me. After over a decade of football, I’m just immune to it. The only coaches that can be intimidating are football coaches, maybe wrestling coaches because they will really make you pay if you screw up (lots of running, up downs, etc…)</p>
<p>I think he’s probably in general a nice guy, until he starts coaching. He probably just expects more from you than other players.</p>
<p>I used to hate my high school coach, until a friend told me “They’re not really coaches unless they yell.” I guess in a way he’s right. :/</p>
<p>no i understand coaches have to yell and i dont mind the yelling but what i dont like is how he singles me out</p>
<p>In my experience, if coaches single you out, then that means they expect more out of you. That’s a good thing.</p>
<p>and yes, it is normal for coaches to do that :D</p>
<p>I can’t believe someone can be so sensitive to this, lol</p>
<p>Don’t let it get to you like that. I’ve had experiences like that and all there is to do is say “Yes sir, yes sir, it won’t happen again, sir” and get to work. If he likes you but yells a lot on the field, it would seem that he thinks you’re a good player and expects a lot out of you. That would seem to be the case, at least.</p>
