Last year I played field hockey as a goalie, and I really enjoyed it. This year, the old coach quit, and was replaced by a new coach, one who happens to be a b****. The season started a couple weeks ago, but I missed the start due to a hospitalization. She doesnt know about the hospitalization, but she already told me I couldnt join the team because I would miss two practices a week due to my IOP therapy. My mom ended up pulling me out of therapy for other reasons. She said I could join the team after I get my physical approved by the school Dr. And, I had to make up all the fitness training I missed, which means I have to come to EVERY practice an hour early, meaning I have to be at the field at 8 every morning. And before school starts, all we have are practices and scrimmages, but mostly scrimmages. And I cannot participate in any scrimmages until I attend 6 practices and complete my fitness training. And I cant just be goalie, I have tryout, even though I was the only goalie.
I really want to play and enjoy this season, but this lady is unfair, overworks us, and is not understanding. What should I do?

I’ve been trying to come up with a training regimen for hockey and I need some guidance. Right now I do a lot of running and lifting; 3-6 miles a day 7 days a week, weight lifting 3 days a week, and I play/practice 2 days a week. This has all improved my game and my fitness level immensely. I was just wondering if anyone had any other ideas or conditioning tips that could aid me in my pursuit of hockey greatness.
