Okay so lets start off with what I'm actually doing at track which is Shot Put and Discus AKA the fucking punch line of the track team. The first day everyone was assigned to their event the coach squatted down in front of us and told us to name all the misconceptions about throwing. Well, we couldn't name a single one of them. So she named them for us. And that they were that throws don't matter, no one liked throws, throwers don't work hard. And then she said, well, none of those are true!! Hahahaha. Then she followed this up with a really shitty metaphor about the track team, that the throwers were the back bone. But then she changed it to the distance being the back bone, and the throwers being the eye balls or something. So no one fucking cares about the throws team. I mean there is a total lack of respect from every single member of the team and the coaches and we are always getting picked on. Firstly, one time there was this girl on distance who hurt her shoulder, so the distance coach sent her to throws, which didn't fucking make any sense because she hurt her SHOULDER. Which made it apparent that the only reason she sent the girl to trows is because she thinks throws is the easiest. Then, the other team members are always complaining that the throws team isolates them selves and never cheers for the other group. The throws team is never doing JACK SHIT so we ALWAYS cheer for others! And then when we're finally doing our two measily events, no one EVER comes to cheer for us! No one from sprints or distance or jumps would belittle themselves to come down to the fucking dirty ass shot put ring and watch us hurl chunks of metal for 15 minutes. But its more than obligatory for ALLL the throws team members and sprinters and shit to come watch some bitch jump into some sand. And they make us clap and everything. I have never had any other member of the team outside of the group of throwers clap for me while I threw. One time, the coaches didn't even come down to see us throw. Which leads me to my second point- I HATE THE COACHES SO MUCH. THIS IS PROBABLY WHAT I HATE THE MOST ABOUT TRACK IT IS THE MOST POORLY GOVERNED ORGANIZATION. Firstly they sit you down and say like, we are the ONLY team who would rather have an athlete with a good attitude and attendance record than an athlete who gets good scores. This is bullshit because 1. Every team says some bull shit like this 2. YOU DONT ABIDE BY THIS THERE ARE GIRLS WITH THE WORST ATTITUDES THAT GET AWAY WITH EVERYTHING BECAUSE THEY CAN RUN A MILE IN 7 MINUTES. Like I don't have a problem with that like if you can run a 7 minute mile you can do whatever you want but as a coach don't pump us full of this fakey crap I can see through a mile a way! The favoritism on this team is RAMPANT. Then also the coaches are so shitty. Like the coach we had at the begining of the year who is also the jumping coach was FIRED from being the basket ball coach because she SUCKS!!!!! Then, we got a different coach who is supposed to be good at throws, and she sucks but in a different way! I HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH HER I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. First I'll start with her coaching style. For one thing, she has not once thrown as an example for us. I'm not even sure she was a thrower in high school, which is her only qualification for this job. Then, she always giving reward systems that she never follows through with. Then, she never gave us any techniques, except for once at the begining of the year, when she told us we were going to start working on spin throws, and then we never did them again. That's hardly even coaching. You know what, that isn't coaching. That is not coaching at all. This is how our day goes now because we do not have a coach, we have a babysitter. We throw 3 times as a warm up, we throw three times while we measure. And this is the type of advice she'll give us. Reach higher. Release sooner. I can give myself that advice! Not to mention that as a babysitter, she is doing a pretty shitty job. Because I have completely stopped doing work during workouts. I will just sit in the area that I'm supposed to be in and then she won't even notice. I have taken naps at practice more than 3 times. She's on her phone 70% of the time, one time she was even playing fucking flappy birds. What the heck. How am I getting away with this shit. But her coaching isn't even the worst part. Her personality is GARBAGE!!!!!!! OH MY GOD! First of all, she is so fucking rude to me and makes me feel bad about everything I like. She constantly makes the dumbest remarks about all the popstars I like. She's like "Beyonce can work off all that baby weight because she doesn't have a real job." BEYONCE HAS A REAL JOB. BEYONCE GOES TO BED ON A PILE OF MONEY IN HER MANSION WITH HER HUSBAND WHILE YOU SLEEP ALONE AFTER A DAY OF WORKING AT SUPERCUTS. YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE YOUR LIFE SUCKS!! Then I came to track really excited because I just met amber rose, and she was like, "look at you, so excited because you met a porn star." PORN STAR???? She's a hip hop model what the fuck?? What the fuck kinda shit you looking at saying she's a porn star? She must just believe that everyone that I like that is a celebrity was in a sex tape because I like kim kardashian. That's right, her ass is stuck in 2009 and she can't get over the fact that someone turned on a camera, filmed themselves having sex, and made billions and billions of dollars over it. Uh, what year is it? This is old news bitch! We know what kim k did, and she's not losing any sleep over it! I'm sure she's sleeping comfortable in her money palace and I am not less than a person for admiring her! She is constantly making me feel bad about other stuff too. WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE A GROWN ASS WOMAN. I AM A CHILD AND YOU ARE PICKING ON ME AND GETTING PAID TO DO THIS? Look at you life. Look at your choices. You work at supercuts and you were married for a gay man for 3 years. You suck and you spend your time making fun of children. Your make up looks like shit consistently, blue eyeshadow, really, what are you trying to look like you crawled out of the dumpster behind Claire's? I've been doing makeup for 2 years and I can do better eyeliner. And those blonde highlights should have been left behind in your myspace profile picture. Then, she's one of those weirdos who hates whatever kind of music we put on in the gym. Pop music, rap music, folk music (it happened by accident), 80's music. She just says "all the music you listen to is bad". Oh I'm sorry, were we having a good time listening to our music while you were over there being complete shit? I also just hate the people I have to be around for track. I hate the jumpers and the sprinters because they think that they are supreme shit when they are nothing but shit, and judge everyone like they're the damn God of track. I hate the distance because their loud and weird. I hate the other thowers because they're like OOOOooooOOOOooohh pooh pooh pooh I dedicate my whole life to shot put like WHAT EVER you fuck, you're scoring 300 ft but I'm having a nice time talking to my friends and I don't spend ten billion hours making other girls feel bad about what they're throwing and being RUDE AF to the people that are doing the exact same thing as you. We are the underdogs! We have to stick together! Especially as women who throw, do you know how few of us there are? Speaking of being a woman, my number one problem with track is the DRESS CODES. One time we were getting dressed and that crack pot ex basket ball coach was like "Woah, ladies, I'm seeing a lot of shoulders!" SHOULDERS? SHOOULLLDERSSS?? EXCUSE ME WHILE I DISMEMBER MYSELF SO YOU WILL NO LONGER HAVE TO SEE THE OBSENITY THAT IS THE BODY PART THAT CONETS MY ARMS TO MY TORSO. THAT'S ALL THAT SHOULDERS ARE. AND IF YOU ARE SEEING SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU! What the fuck is sexual about a shoulder? And then one time, there was this girl who had her skirt rolled up, and she said "Pull your skirt down. You're representing the track team." This didn't even happen to me, but it made me feel violate me. How dare an aDULT FEMALE put the implications on a young girl that she is reducing her value by showing more skin. Also, this is flawed logic, because WHO the FUCK is going to see a girl with her skirt rolled up, and think, oh she's on the track team, the track team must be bad if someone who is a member has her skirt rolled up. Then today I forgot my pants because I did not want to pay $90 for pants in the first place so I was just wearing black sweat pants and the coach kept telling me to pull them down. They were covering my ass and they were pulled down as far as they could go. What the fuck woman???????? I hate track. I hate track so fucking much I fucking hate it. It takes up so much time and from the 2 years I participated the best memories I have from it is not participating in track like when we wandered around a school campus looking for a vending machine. I hate the way track is run, I hate the people who run track, I hate the actual sport, and while this will look good on my college applications, I will never again participate and I would discourage anyone else from joining (my particular school's team) because it is a horrible experience that will eat up all your time and make you fucking hate your life. I HATE TRACK SO MUCH!!! AND WE POPPIN BIG BOTTLES WHEN IT ENDS IN 2 DAYS.
