Benchwarmers: The Best Seat In The House
Comments: I read your bench warmers article and I really
relate to it...I am a freshman at xxxxxxxxx college in Michigan. I sat
the bench pretty much all season...on rare occasions I would go in. I
felt terrible I was a three year starter on my high school team and I
never thought what it was like to sit the bench. I took stats the whole
season. I was always cheering for the team and being positive but on the
inside I was upset. I never knew how painful it was to watch everyone
else play while I sat on the bench. It seemed to me like I was never given
a chance. I saw it to be incredibly unfair! My collegues and friends asked
me why I stayed on the team and I simply said I have never quit at anything
and i definitely wasn't going to quit at something I loved!! I have been
working on it I have been lifting weights and staying in shape. I want
to be someone who is first picked to go in. I don't mind not being a starter
I just want to be in te game and helping out. Going in and out doesn't
bother me its the fact that I never go in that bothers me. I will work
on it until my coach sees that I am worth putting in. I want to show my
coach that I am worthy of being on his team. I never want to let anyone
down and that is my attitude about everything. Why give up when you know
you just might have the chance. I go to a junior college and I am only
here for two years. I don't have much time to show what I have, but if
this coach doesn't see it maybe another coach will and thats what I will
be waiting for. thank you for your time and the great article I just wish
everyone has the chance to read it and learn from it!!
