How To Deal With Minimal Playing Time
Being part of a team has been one of the greatest experiences of my life and I'm sure you can say the same thing! The concept of working together for a common goal, putting the organization above yourself and doing whatever is necessary to win is something that drives only the fiercest competitors. That being said, not everyone can be on that field or court at once. Sitting on the bunch is something every athlete has dealt with and had to overcome.
Sitting on the bench feeling helpless as your team gets scored on or unimportant when your team does score can often deter athletes from the sport they love. It is brutal, a feeling I wish I never experienced yet have felt countless times. Sitting out defeats you and makes you want to quit, yet you cannot. Your teammates need you and you need them!
No one gets better without practice, and even though you may not start in the games you make every starter better by giving your best effort every day against them in practice.
Remember why you're there. You joined that team for a reason, to put the team first and do whatever is necessary to win. You must remain positive and know that even though you may not be the game day hero, you are a crucial part to the team each and every day and they cannot achieve their goals without you.
Stay positive and work through it, you will play eventually, but do not give up on your team, they will help you earn that starting spot. You cannot do it alone. Team always takes priority over yourself, if you are a true athlete and care about winning.
