For the first time in my life, I was benched the whole game. For those that are still uncertain, I started playing basketball when i was young as 5years old and competitive basketball started when I was 10years. Last night marked the day where my coach didn't put me down for a match. Yes, not even for a second.
That awkward feeling of anticipating, that indescribable feeling when you try as much as possible to keep yr eyes away from the coach when he walks pass to look for a substitute, when your heart yearns for him to call your name, for him to tell you it's your turn put up a good fight. Yesterday, nothing of these happened. It was saddening and heartbreaking, really. Deep down in my heart I couldn't breath. No glimpse of hope, at all.
Lemme explain to you. In the game of POL-LITE. there are 15 players in the team. But for each game, only 12 players would be registered. Meaning 3 players will definitely not have a chance to play. And I was one of them, along with Zoe. I was utterly shocked. he even shouted to ask for my jersey number, to tell the referee that these were the players who's not registered.
Wrong moves:
1) he shouted across the bench to ask for my jersey number, so that he could double confirm with the referee that these were the players who were not going to play.
(please don't pour salt into my already broken heart)
2) after match you said "today I let those players who dont usually get to play, play."
(if I were in their shoes, I would question myself, so actually I am just a bench player who only get to play during easy matches)
3) you said "today I never put ting yi down because she's sick"
(excuse me, do I look like I am sick? Or Is it because I look drained? Which part of me look like I am not fit enough to take my opponents down?)
They told me it was because it's an easy match. From what I learnt from the basketball arena, this ain't right. I learnt to respect the opponents, even though they are not as good as you are, to give your best for every single game and in detail every milli seconds when you're on court. Sorry, I cannot accept what you had in mind. Because, genuinely youve to respect your players if you want them to give you back the same kind of treatment. Where the saying goes, treat people how you want to be treated. NOW GO AND REFLECT.
Last night, I finally know how it felt like to hold back your tears for something not worth. And I told myself that I'll never work with you, and it will never happen. Appointment holder? Honestly, whatever. You suck, period:)
