Dear Coach,

I want you to know that you have put a huge hole in my heart.

I want you to know that you will forever be someone who turned their back on me, when at one point we were so close. You took something away from me that I have always loved, watched, and played. The day I knew I would no longer be playing the game, that once was my everything, was the worst day of my life. I had finally decided not to play a game loved dearly by both my family and me, all because you made me hate it.

Coach, you turned the game into something that was more of a punishment.

Something that I once loved to play and practiced turned into something that I hated the most. You took all the power and drive out of me to want to play! I no longer have that sparkle in my eye for the game, I no longer want to just go outside to throw the ball, I no longer want to run around those four bases anymore, I no longer have love for the game!

You, Coach, took that away from me and that is something that that will always stand between you and me.

I dread having to drive past that field everyday and see the girls I once practiced with and love so dearly and not be out there. It just makes me even more angry with you knowing I should be out there too.

I hate having to walk past you in the hallways and see you because it reminds me that I gave up something I loved because of you! But thank you for opening my eyes to the real world and showing to me that life does not always work out like you want it too!!

From a player who is devastated about not being on tht field anymore!
