My friend is having one of his most miserable moments in his life. He's in the school's rugbyteam, but ironically, he doesn't really get to play in matches. That's pretty upsetting. Imagine, being deprived of a chance to play when you're missing lessons and such.
Well, when he finally had a chance to play, he "screwed it up" and dragged the entire team down. His team lost the game as a result and now his coach is resigning. I know he isn't a lousy player at all. He's feeling really upset about this and even plans to quit rugby.
What can I do or say to help or at least comfort him?
Thanks. -
Reminds me of Chicken Little.
-
you can say to him... "never give up"..."always reach for your dreams"..."try your best"..."you will achieve your dreams one day"...all those bullsh!t...
but he may just have a bad game...get him to improve physically and tactically and pray he will get the chance to step on the field again... -
Me too, 3 words to him :"Don't give up".Originally posted by browniebaobao:Reminds me of Chicken Little. -
Quit and join another team e.g community club.

Feeling upset? Natural reaction and emotion so for awhile ok. But he has to be strong and don't give up if he really wants to carry on playing. Nothing wrong with quitting rugby. Does not necessarily makes him a loser in life, but if it becomes a habit to him, quitting whenever he failed in soemthing, then big capital L on the forehead to him. Just advice him that sometimes, people learn best through their experiences. Whatever that does not kill you only makes you stronger.Originally posted by hoolahoop:My friend is having one of his most miserable moments in his life.

Game is just a game, win or lost . You have study to focus on. There is up and down in life, world arnt over yet. Take a break from the game, take a step backward and think. If he really want to improve further, practice more.Originally posted by hoolahoop:My friend is having one of his most miserable moments in his life.

It's never a good feeling to be unable to get to play in matches when u are in the team. But I think u shld tell him that no one is perfect and he shld not give up in his passion but pursue it instead

maybe thats the reason he doesnt get to play. cos hes not all that good. i'm just stating the highly possible here, and i play sports so i know that its unfair that not everyone gets to play but its a fact of life you have to get over as a sportsman. also if he knows he isnt as good, can be get over being selfish, and want whats best for the team? and if that time he didnt play well cos of a one-time "off-form", then PROVE himself during trainings or something. but somehow as a gf i dont think you should be talking about this to him. most probably he wont like it. cos its a blow to his ego. even stuff like "dont worry you'll do better next time" or "i'm sure you'll get another chance" can be quite irritating to a sports person.
his capt should takl to him.
