Former Coach kicked me out the track so i “don’t distract the team and since i’m not part of the team anymore&

He’s probably kicking off the track cause he has to (as a school-certified coach). The distracting kids thing doesn’t make sense tho because you were just doing drills, which isn’t loud or obnoxious in any way. Maybe email him and try to set up a time to talk about it

What is your first language?

There is probably a time when the public can use the facility before or after the team trains.

As a coach I have never been in this situation but if I had difficulty with a team member and it resulted in the athlete leaving the team I probably would not want them on the track training while my team is there.

Then again, after all of these years this has never happened which makes me believe that you are in the right about the broken relationship you have with the coaching staff. But unfortunately, you still should not be present at practices.

100% agree with what you have to say. I was also kind off confused with the whole “disturbing” part but i’ll definitely try and set something up. Thanks for replying!

Yeah i’ll definitely have to start using the facility before school. Which will have me running around 5:30am and i can’t after because it gets dark out too fast. Thanks for replying, i appreciate it!

This was very helpful. I do understand it was probably an “inappropriate” time to be using the facility when the team is present, but i’ll definitely be trying to do drills when they aren’t present. Thanks for the different opinion!

You may need to find a new track. Your coach has jurisdiction over that track during practice hours. Period.

By leaving the team to train on your own, you have disrespected him. Whether that disrespect was warranted or not is a different conversation, but he holds every right to cut you off from team training resources considering you A) aren’t on the team B) essentially spat on his program by deciding to train on your own.

Freshman in highschool? Seems like you have already written off the effectiveness of the coach and program even before the first outdoor season is complete. Sometimes kids take themselves too serious, have fun, run with the team and see how it goes. How do you plan to compete, with a club team?

Completely understand where this is coming from and i agree. I did essentially disrespect him in an unintentional way. I’ll definitely be looking for a new place to do my training. Thanks for the reply!

I had decided to stop with the program because of how my cross country season went. I had the same coach and now going back i was definitely dealing with multiple injuries and burnout, i did try telling my coach at that time that i was probably doing too much but i received a reply of “Toughen up man, you’re in high school”. I did improve from a 22:00 to a 19:40 from the first 3 meets but after that i never was able to touch 19:40. And the similar thing was going on in track, pulled an injury from overuse. This is more of what led me to leaving. And yes i was definitely going to do club, not this season though. I’ll just be going unattached for 7-8 meets. Thanks for the reply!

It isn't possible to be "let go" and "resign." Read your post before you troll.

I got through your first sentence and I agree with your coach. Combined with you whining about it here, it was great decision.

Sorry i probably used the wrong words. English isn’t my first language, i had no intention of trolling. My apologies.

"Former coach"? It sounds like he's still the coach.

I did not have any intention of whining. I just saw this as a great community to get advice. Maybe it was too much but i understand where you’re coming from. Thanks for the reply!

Where do you live? In most states, sanctioned high school meets don't allow unattached athletes.

So if your a student at a public high school you can’t use the track if you’re not in the team? That seems like a wild take. Pretty sure their parents are paying taxes too

I wasn’t going to do any High School meets. And yes practically all of them don’t allow unattached athletes. Im going to do club/unattached meets. They’re open depending on age division. I will also compete in USATF Championships.
