Chapter 105 A Difficult Beginning 4 (1/2)

The coach did not like that Jake did not accept his suggestion, usually, the young players listened to the coaches because they wanted to improve and the coaches have more experience, especially Philips who had already trained a college basketball team.

Even though deep down the coach agreed it would be a bit of a waste of Jake's pass and ball control skills for him to be an SG and was suggesting it more so that Jake no longer tried to be a captain it was true that Jake could have more success as SG, after all, it is sometimes better for a player to focus on only one thing and not try to do everything.

The other players, especially the older ones who most respected coach Philips, thought Jake was also wrong not to hear the coach.

Jake saw this too and was helpless, if it was his past life he could even listen to the coach and change positions, but whoever said that was the best position for him was the system that helped him so many times and certainly knew more about Jake the coach who only saw him play for a few weeks.

In addition, a decision on where to play could change Jake's future in basketball, after all, if he decides to play as SG he would have to play in that position for the next 4 years and the college scouts will also see him playing in that position.

But Coach Philips did not understand this and thought Jake was just defying his authority as he thought Jake would do from the start.

”I do not care what you think, I'm the coach of this team and now that I said you can only play in that team in SG position.”

Coach Philips thought it was a good time to show who sent all players using Jake as an example.

Jake thought the coach was being irrational and that he was just implicating him, just as the workout was ending he just decided to leave.

Seeing that Jake was leaving the players just thought he was being proud and the coach also did not care about leaving Jake, Liza also thought Jake was wrong and remembered what the coach had told her before, so Liza thought Jake too arrogant too.

Jake went home and did not care what others thought of him, coming home he told his mother everything that happened and told her she did not accept because this decision without regard to the coach could change her future.

Eva agreed with Jake, she knew about everything that happened to Jake on his way to playing basketball, Jake started by training basketball alone first running alone in the square and then in the basement that had an improvised court, and that since the age of 10 without anyone telling him what to do.

Even after he started playing for basketball teams at school no one taught Jake anything other than game tactics, and now that Jake had conquered both a coach who had not seen him play for 1 month wanted to do something that could change the future of his son.

After going to his room Jake began to think about what to do, he no longer saw many benefits in going to the basketball club after classes just to train even knowing that he could not play in any game this year.

In addition, the coach seemed to dislike him and gave weaker training and did not let Jake play against the starting team that would be the only way for Jake to learn anything.

And now after all the coach still wanted to decide on what position he could play if Jake could only train as SG in training there more than ever he would be wasting his time training in that team.

”Fate, what do you think I should do?”

[I think you're right Jake, that coach does not seem to like you and wants to hurt you when he told you to play in another position I realized he had other reasons and that it was not for your good.]

[As you said if you spent several weeks training in another position it would do more harm than good to you, and you never know what that coach can do for you next time.]

[So what I suggest you do from now is to stop going to this training since because of this rule you will not be able to play in the starting team this year and that is the only thing that can make you improve your skills.]

After the system said exactly what Jake thought he'd been standing there thinking for a while, so he decided he'd stop going for that meaningless training.

When he woke up in the morning he said his decision to his mother.

”Are you sure about that, son?”

”Yes, Mom, I think it's going to be better for me to stop going now since I can not play anyway, training like that would do more harm than good to me.”
