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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

"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

#1, he was damaging the self-esteem of the slow *****.

or he was just destroying the coaches son in practice

You are on steroids. Get off the juice!!

This reminds me of the FML where the mom burned her child's acceptance letter from Yale.

Maybe the other people looked bad compared to him?

Most likely op is actually slow....

All The slow ass white kids!

They were running so fast their clothes were unable to keep up. The coach got tired of having to deal with the school board and the streaking problem it was creating.

Maybe you were running so fast that your stamina would run out too quickly..?

If I'm correct; Sprints are short, "as-fast-as-you-can" runs. I'd understand the coaches reasoning if it was a marathon or something, but the point of sprints is that it's raw speed without conservation.
soupermeal 10
are you dumb ahaha
Ameel_fml 19
That doesn't really apply to sprints though. There's a reason many professional sprinters need to be carried off after a race. Using up all your stamina is a good thing.

He's jealous!

When you're 25 and hopped up on 'roids, running a 22-second 100m is conspicuous for a middle-school track team.

That's insanely slow.

#8, that's pretty good for a 6th-grader of the typical age.
MisterMichael 9
That's racist^

Average 6th graders run in the mid to high 10's not 22's.

#19, I went to school with slow, fat, suburban kids.
meihua 19
Were you one of them?

I hate to break it to you but middle schoolers are not running mid to high tens. They're not running as slow as 22 if they are worth anything either, but if you are going correct someone then get your facts straight.

13-14's high 12's for the fast ones 22 is really slow, that's a good high school 200m time
kwyk 23
22s probably isnt actually unreasonable for a 6th grader. The average male is probably around the 15-16s mark. In my experience, people are WAY off the mark when they say (guess?) their 100m time. A good time for an athletic, but not sprinter-type guy would be ~13.xx.

#30, I was the equipment manager. The track girls loved my moobs with a combination of wonder, lust, disgust and envy!

#19 I would love to see these sixth graders you watch run in the mid to high 10s
VorpikeII 17
I got about 16 or 17 in grade 6. Our fastest was a 12. 22 seconds was grade 4 slow kids.
perdix 31
I find it hilarious that everyone is up in arms about the OP's time in the 100m, yet nobody seems to have a problem with a 25-year-old sixth-grader. It's a joke, people, exaggeration is part of it! In my mind, I saw a giant, hulking guy covered in acne with a shrunken scrotum running slightly faster than a bunch of gawky, little kids. I just wanted to share that image with you.

I ran a mid 13 in 6th grade, a 22 is really slow, my 4th grade sister ran a 18 But I get what perdix is saying now
Nederlander95 14
You mean 200 I assume
sophie0908 16
Jesus man that'd be embarrassing. In high school I ran a 14 second 100m which was actually pretty mediocre. I can't imagine middle schoolers are that much slower

You must be too fast for his brain to comprehend what's happening.

Too much skill? Seems legit

Wanna see me run to that house and back? ... Wanna see me do it again?
Pstraka6 20
That makes no sense. I'm a track coach and the only object in track is go beat the clock. come on my team we need sprinters bad! And can I have you do triple jump as well?
BrookieAnn 19
Hmmm...sounds like quite the turmoil..better run it off;)
