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

Keep looking for another track team that will nurture your talents. Sadly it's not that unusual for coaches to not only not nurture a talented kid but to impede their progress. Never let a person like that defeat or discourage you.

Your coach is a dumb ass

You were "too fast" or you were "always last" maybe you just heard him wrong

How old is he? Sounds like he doesn't want to put in any effort to turn an ok team into a great one. Perhaps he doesn't care anymore and is just pretending till his retirement. If not, he might be intimidated by you. Or it's to cover up the real reason. At any rate, he's a poor excuse of a track coach. FYL to have someone playing with your future like that.

I was recently told at work that my coworkers were complaining about me because I was doing too much extra work and making them look bad to clients. Instead of being rewarded for taking the extra initiative, I was told that I wasn't being a team player and I need to focus on doing the same amount of work as everyone else. I started watching netflix two days a week instead of working on those days, and I'm still getting told I do too much work. So OP, all I can say to you is that you're being prepared for the real world, I guess.
