Today, I got cut from my track team. My coach told me it was because my sprints were "too fast" for his liking. Huh? FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my entire gym class had to run the 1600 with our coach calling out finishing times. My finishing time was reported as "3 days short of a year." FML
Today, I was running the 100m sprint in a track meet. Me and another girl were tied for dead last. When we finished, she complained, "It's so embarrassing how slow I am today. I have shin splints. What happened to you?" I was actually running my hardest. FML
Today, I told my mom I wanted to try out for the track team. Her exact words were "good luck, fatty". FML
Today, I got to sports practice 30 seconds late and got kicked out for "poor time management". FML
Today, I was up against two others in a 120m race on my school's sports day. Unexpectedly, I heard my name being chanted from most of the classes watching and well, this made me want to win so much that I leaned forward too much whilst running and ended up tripping and rolling on the track. I heard loud sighs after. FML
Today, I was stripped of my starting position on my high school basketball team. The reason? I was three minutes late to practice. Why was I late? My coach called me five minutes before practice and made me get him a coffee or else he wouldn't start me. FML
Today, my personal trainer fired me. Why? Because I wanted to focus on strength training, not weight loss, and refused to track my carb intake or fasting hours or "hold off on carbs til the optimal time of day." Nice to know I'm not allowed to be satisfied with my own weight. FML
Today, I had to run a timed mile. I'm terrible at running. During the run, I thought I was doing a good job. That is, until the teacher told me to stop because I was three laps behind everyone else. FML
Today, I was kicked out of my track team's locker room because the coach said there weren't enough lockers for everyone on the team. There are 74 lockers and only 52 girls on the team. FML
Today, I ran the mile in gym class. I was the second to last person to finish, and I was left panting and feeling faint. When the teacher found out I hadn't come in dead last, he accused me of skipping a lap and is now making me rerun the entire thing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

"We're cutting you from the team because you're too good." Sounds legit.

Maybe you were just making all the others on your team look bad ;3

Your coach is a low-level athlete.

Slow and steady wins the race, sorry, OP!

that applies to cross country, not a sprint.

I know. It was sarcasm.

I'm sure there's some other underlying reason, either way, they're definitely taking a loss on this OP

The only plausible explanation is that he was maybe letting you down easy?

It's sounds like I'm an idiot.

I showed this to my boyfriend who ran track in high school and he's raging. It's brought up memories about how they couldn't find a decent sprinter. And he's on a rant...

These days, all the runners are supposed to join hands and cross the finish line at the same time while singing "Kum-Ba-Yah." Every kid gets a gold medal and a trophy and a picture alongside a cardboard cutout of Usain Bolt and a shoe deal!! Kids, today!
