1. School Work

Tell your coach that you have 鈥渁 lot of homework鈥� or a 鈥渉uge test tomorrow.鈥� This way, even if you plan on spending the evening in bed or watching Netflix (better yet, watching Netflix in bed!), it gives the image that you are a studious and hardworking student athlete who has academic interests in mind. There鈥檚 really no losing with this strategy, because people think you鈥檙e being productive regardless. Plus, you might actually get some work done.

2. Menstrual Cramps

This one is for athletes who get their periods. If your coach doesn鈥檛 bleed out their uterine lining every month, using a menstruation-related excuse is the easiest way to get them to do whatever you ask. People will do anything to avoid talking about periods, so the second you mention cramps or needing to change your tampon, you鈥檙e free. It鈥檚 also a good way to get away with being lazy; you can鈥檛 exactly do much when your 鈥渆ntire body is bleeding.鈥� However, please keep in mind that this strategy loses about 100% of its effectiveness if you very clearly are not actually capable of getting your period.

3. Family Plans

Coaches should understand that family comes first, so telling them your grandparents are in town, for example, is a great way to get out of one specific practice. Maybe it was unannounced, and that鈥檚 why you couldn鈥檛 let your coach know in advance. Maybe you haven鈥檛 seen them in a long time, and they鈥檙e really hoping to spend time with you. Whatever you choose, your coach will see you as a dedicated and loving kid, and who doesn鈥檛 want someone like that on their team?

4. Find a Scapegoat

When in doubt, put the blame on someone else who won鈥檛 face the consequences, like your parents. Call your coach or text your teammates in advance that you don鈥檛 have a ride because your parents are out, your mom is dragging you to some last-minute event or you and your dad got a flat tire on the drive to practice. That way, the blame doesn鈥檛 fall to you, and who鈥檚 going to knock on your door to verify your excuse?
