(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So recently, (im on varsity), i swam my best time of 51.28, and my coach was amazed, because my previous time was a 55 flat.
but ever since then hes been a real prick during practices.
ever since then, he has a higher expectation and if im barely making the interval he'd say
' if you don't go faster you're done from the team'
and the realy prick part is, i'm still going faster then half the team at my current pace, but yet its only ME!
what should i do?, because im not a distance swimmer, and im barely making the 15 200's on the 2:30

If you are doing the best you possibly can, the coach can't ask for anything more or threaten to kick you out of the team because you are not good enough. Next time he says something, explain calmly that you don't like the way you are being treated and singled out by him. I doubt he is doing it intentionally. I'm not trying to say he is right, but I think it helps to understand how the other person is thinking.

Hopefully things work out for you man.

Maybe he's using psychology shit on you? Says you can't do better so in your head you're like "I'm going to prove him wrong". If he does actually kick you off the team, then complain to his boss and say you're the best he has.

In things like the military nothing is ever good enough, because once it is, you stop trying to be better and your work slips. If it's never any good, you keep trying in the hope it is good enough. It's just mind games. Maybe he is doing that, and since you smashed your time by 3 secs+, maybe he sees more potential and think these mind games will make you faster.

I remember when I was doing Karate and I did good enough to skip a belt. I was learning the stuff for the belt I skipped and couldn't get one part of it right. The sensei said if I don't do it right this time I'm getting my belt taken away and going to that belt, and then I did it. Hope that that's what your coach is doing.

I thought you meant litterally, like being a dick. Kinda like this guy

Plain and simple what your coach is doing is trying to help you progress even further in your training
and be an even better swimmer. Its just tough love at the moment, because if your coach feels that you
can be an even better athlete, they're going to push you until you win.

OMFG hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahhahahahaabhahahah

I know how you fell,my basketball coas was being unfair too...

He's not going to kick you off, he's just seeing that you have more potential, and he wants to utilize it.

Dude he wouldn't kick you off the team for that because its against your school board rules and if he does, he will even realize they need you, or he could just be saying that to get you to work harder. The reason why its just you is because he really wants to see you get better. Trust me, in basketball my coach used to yell at me, make fun of me, punch me, but in the end, ive gotten so much better and im the best on the team and im on JV & Varsity in 9th grade.

i know the team can't exist without me because i swim the max events in the center lane, but i can't swim the distance sets like how the slower people can...
and my coach always talks about 'the good ol days' where he swam until he threw up. yakking it all over the place, to start Again. i can't just say. 'coach i can't do it, cuz then he says don't swim the rest of the week, as a matter of fact, go speak to the A.P. for a sport removal'
