I am currently having a huge problem on my team.
This past week I was pitching in a game where absolutely nothing seemed to go our way. We made at least 10 errors on defence and had only 3 hits. Although we lost by 7 runs I allowed only 2 earned runs.
After the game we were discussing what we need to do to improve before our upcoming tournament and what we were doing wrong during that particular game. Our head coach and several players proceeded to tell me that regardless of the score, I still pitched well. That is when the problems started.
The assistant coach on the team stepped in right away and contradicted their statements and started to place the blame entirely on me, in front of the entire team. I only allowed 4 hits the entire game (a double and 3 singles), yet somehow I was "rocked". She continued this personal attack on me until my father, another assistant coach stepped in.
After all this the coaches had another meeting where this coach expressed some more hateful comments geared toward me and my father. All of these comments came as an absolute shock to everyone, including the head coach.
The big dilemma I am facing is whether or not I can continue to play for this team. The head coach assured us that he would deal with this situation, but I don't think I can play if the assistant coach is allowed to stay on, especially after she expressed so much hatred toward me. What should I do if this assistant coach is still part of the team? Do you have any suggestions on how I can get this situation off my mind (I've tried distracting myself with other activities, but all thoughts drift back to this)?
Please help.
