Alright, so this is probably the hardest decision I've ever had to decide. First thing you need to know is that I am currently a senior, the past year I have been on and off injury, just came back from 2months off and am currently #1 man once again. My head coach from the past 3 years moved to a different school, and we we're separate from the girls xc team. My senior season went exactly how I didnt want it to go, got stress tears in my achilles and couldnt run for 2 months without being in pain.
So blah blah blah, ive been stressed the out to the max and its getting to the point to where Its making my senior year not fun at all and just stressful, I want to quit but the thing thats holding me back is the team. The past few years have been the greatest time of my life, my best friends that i hangout with now , i wouldnt have met them if i wouldnt of joined cross country my freshmen year. I wouldn't take any of it back, it has been amazing.
Then today happened, our "coach" would never talk about any of the girls on the team in a bad way and he said to my best friend that if he didnt PR by the end of the season he will kick him off the team. This pissed me off because you know what, maybe yes he has gotten slower, but he found a passion in lifting weights, and it just so happened to not be beneficial to running at all and now hes running slower. The reason he is still here is because of the team, we are all very close to eachother. He still trys his hardest its just hes gaining weight and its just not helping his running.
So when he said that to him, i flipped, I dont want to be on a team where the coach despises the guys team and only pays attention to the girls team. Makes going to school everyday horrible because i have to go to practice and deal with him. This is my senior year, its suppose to be fun not shitty
Me and my friend want to quit, but don't know really....any advice?
