Well a different day, a different emotion! Today I have been feeling really frustrated and also a bit angry... Although I know I need a break from synchro and to try new things, I am pissed that essentially I was pushed out. I'm the one ending up looking like the "bad guy," and that is really unfair, especially considering the circumstances. I am also angry because my contract says that I am not supposed to provide coaching services for any other swimmer or team in Arizona, and that essentially keeps me trapped for a year. I already have offers to help other teams in the area, so I would really like to help out and be able to continue to earn a living. I have also had offers from other teams in the US, which I am not considering right now, but it has done a lot to help brighten the situation for me. It's nice to feel wanted. :-)
Today I also changed my e-mail address. Of course I'll still have to check my old one for a while, but I figured that I would like a new e-mail to go along with my fresh start. I also used the opportunity to let a lot of my synchro friends know that I am no longer with the team. They said I can still do privates, but we'll see... It might be hard for me to do that if someone else is getting all the credit, (and someone who has hurt me nonetheless.) I do need the money though, so I guess I will have to think about it.
