Today we messed up really bad with our routines, maybe because it was Monday so we were not really used to jumping. Even our leader also messed up when usually he practically does not fail a single routine yet today he failed a record number of four!
As a result, we were to increase the amount of physical training as in double or triple the usual amount. By the time we finished, there was not a single person that remained standing. It was till the point when something really simple like standing cannot be possibly executed.
It is times like this when you start cursing the teacher for pushing you so hard, when you just stop and think: Why is the coach so cruel? Can't he be more humane?
But just when I really how bad a coach he is to simply break our bodies, he says,"You guys can hate me for what I am doing to you, but you have to get the champions." Upon hearing this statement, I suddenly understand how much sacrifice he is willing to make for the victory of our school. Even though it might mean we feel hatred for him, but he knows someone has to do that job and he just had to take it upon himself.
After his words today, I realise that the world is still full of good people and not the cruel, cold world I imagined to be.
Glad to see that you got the right perception. A lot of times, teachers and coaches are not that verbal and might be taken wrongly for their perspectives. Hence, one must always take a step back and look at the situation. Sometimes, one needs to think clearly and not with anger when analyzing situations.

I remember that. All of us were very touched at that moment and i guess all our hatred just disappear after what he said.
