Dont give up. You cant be a sportsman if you give up on the first hurdle. Everyone has ups and downs. If you dont get picked and you play sub. Your mentality should be " when i get out on the pitch im going to prove myself to your captain and/or coaching staff". If your not getting picked for the subs. Just ask them why. It doesnt hurt to know why. Atleast then you know what you got to work on. Early on in my career i damaged my shoulder and lost all confidence tackling. for around a year i was a liability until I learnt to overcome it and return to full confidence.
You might get dropped or u might not but one thing is for sure if you do then the next time u get back on the team,make the coach regret doing so
If your going to be dropped well I guess there's nothing you can do about it. Acceptance is a big part of life. Hearing what makes you feel better will never make you a man. Man up and face it it just a ******* game.
When Piri Weepu got dropped from the All Blacks squad in the 2007 World Cup did he give up on Rugby and play tiddlywinks instead? NO HE DID NOT. He worked his *** off and over the next 4 years became one of the best 9's in the world, and many would even consider him a "hero" after he played a game winning role in New Zealand's quarter final win over Argentina in the 2011 World Cup.
