At my high school soccer game today I was confused as to if I could substitute in when one of our players was carded. The referee hadn't signaled that I could come on, so I didn't. My coach yelled at me and told me to stop arguing. I was just confused, so I started crying a bit.
I know I should be old enough to take criticism, but I'm a little scared of my coach now. I wasn't having a good game and I don't know how I should handle things from now on. I'm afraid to ask my coach questions for fear of being yelled at again. What should I do?

And if it would change your perspective a bit, I'm a girl.

Don't worry about it, my water polo coach does that to me all the time. Just today he was talking about comfronting him when there was a problem, he said that he won't get mad or anything like that. If you want you can go up to him and ask him, "What can I improve on?" or "Is there anything that I need to focus on, to get better?" Honestly, it might be kind of scary going up to your coach, but they actually take it as a sign of maturety and braveness if you go by your self. What ever you do, don't let your parents talk to the coach, becasue my coach even said that he would prefer the actual player to talk to him, and that he hates when parents get involved. Good Luck!

NEVER. Ask your parents what you should do.
For your part, study the laws of the game so you know what happens when there is a card shown to a player. You were wise to follow the referee's direction. The referee must signal that a player can enter the field of play or risk a yellow card. I have tossed parents and coaches from the field for poor behavior.
Last year at a tournament, my daughter's coach was warned by the Referee when he yelled at one of his players. He apologized to both.

Technically, he should NEVER yell at you. _Maybe_ if you were a paid professional. Unfortunately, too many coaches forget that it's just a game. Don't let him intimidate you, though. Part of sports is learning how to handle stressful situations just like this. Hey, it's not like he can attack you physically. That would get him sent straight to jail. So buck up and ask your questions. That's what he's there for.

A coach shouldn't raise his voice if it isn't necessary. It would be different if you were on the field at the time and he had to yell in order for you to hear. I would go to your coach and explain to him about it. Be respectful. The worst think you could do is not being respectful. That could cause major problem.

A coach should never raise their voice at the players, being respectful will bring the team great results.

I think they can but once in a World Cup match between India and South Africa, their coach was constantly instructing Hansie Cronje to do what he said.

coaches are people like u. they feel angry and dissappointed when the players dont do what they want them to do.
am sure your coach wanted to say sorry to u after the game, but he was probably to proud to do that.
any ways, just forget that happened and move on. dotn fear your coach. u can talk to him/her anytime.
