I love how it's "not mandatory" but the coach tells you that you're in danger of not being on the team if you don't volunteer!

I have no problem at all with that. If the only time a player works is when its mandatory, a coach is perfectly reasonable in making the assumption that the player lacks the internal motivation to succeed.

Not exactly what I meant. I was commenting more on the semantics - the coach is discussing real sanctions tied directly to non-participation in voluntary activities -- it starts to sound like defacto mandatory. Kinda like when I tell my students they don't have to take the test - it's not mandatory - they'll just fail but it's their choice

Like you, I've got no problem with judging the player for not showing "internal" motivation.

If 5-6 doesn't drive them to work harder, we need to clean the entire operation out.
