I had a coach like this that made me quit all sports.
translation: "I was a mediocre player and quit because I was never going to get significant playing time"
I've seen it 1000 times playing and coaching, kid doesn't get playing time, oh it's just because the coach doesn't like me. Next year it's "Oh I quit because the coach was an a-hole" For some reason that never seems to bother the guys who are good enough to play...
Tell you what going into high school I was not a very good basketball player, I worked my arse off, harder than pretty much all my teammates and they admitted that. By my senior year I was a contributing member of the team, played significant minutes but always came off the bench. Didn't bother me one bit, I got the amount of playing time that I deserved based off of the quality of player I was and nothing else. Did I believe there were some guys starting that I was as good as? Sure but that's not my decision, and when I got minutes I played my arse off and that turned into more and more minutes for me

I have mixed feelings about the douche coach argument. I was screwed during my junior year baseball season. Kid in front of me started since sophomore year, brother was an assistant coach, and he was a senior. Our coach absolutely loved seniors. Anyways, this guy literally had 23 errors through 7 games and it wasn't enough to make the switch. I played a little second base, but pinch hit for most the year.
But... I't didn't make me quit. I thought about quitting to play golf (I'm a 6 handicap and our school is the national leader in state golf championships), but that would have been a compliment to the coach. He stayed at the school, but quit coaching baseball my senior year. I proceeded to bat .496, get all-city and all-state, city POY, and finished 2nd at state. That was my way of saying frick you to my coach. Not by quitting.

Tbh, the real reason I hate it was because my dad complained to the coaches. It was really embarrassing and made me want to quit.
Oh and cuz all da kidz were mean 2 me
