dot, cool name, but you'll go further in life if you ditch your "victim routine"
maybe I'm missing somthing??
here's what I got so far
1) you indicate you did make the team - awsome!
2) all your team-mates dissapeared from the after school hangouts about 3:15 for the 4pm practice - you didn't notice?
3) ya show up at the gym about 4 to dress & warm up for your 4:45 indoor - just you and the janitor?? no red flags yet??
4) coach notices you're not at his practice, figures you were overlooked, so has someone call you
5) when you arrive he goes pretty much one on one with you to catch you up
and you come off with an "attitude"
I can guess why he likes the other guy
ps-if the guy competing for your position needs work as you say, you should be working with him to help him get better - he is your "younger team-mate", and if he's better it pushes you also
