Edit my above statement. Just reread and Aquafina did not make fun of me for the comment but geetar definitely did.

yeah, sick of it, you're outta luck buddy. You dont just show up to the state meet with a shiny pr of spikes ready to run.

HaHa was correct.

Well then you've proven everyone's point. You're a self entitled brat. If you approach people with reason and a degree of humility you are much more likely to get some where.

Thinking you can just run in the state meet w/o a team is foolish.

OP,

I will reiterate what you have already been told.

That petition is a piece of crap. This shows your poor grasp of writing basics. The fact that you did not have somebody review and correct the petition shows poor judgment. You will not be taken seriously by those that receive the petition.

You seem to be a whiny bitch. College coaches don't want whiny bitches on their team. Others have noted that your times might get you on the tail end of D1 teams. If you were much better some coaches might take a shot on you. Nobody wants the entitled cry baby to round out the team and take a slot from somebody who at least would add to the team's chemistry.

Good luck.

Hey Guys,

Landon Donovan here. I was hoping you guys would sign my petition to allow me and my friends Zlatan, Samir, Jermain and Gareth to play in the World Cup unattached. I'm pretty dedicated but my coach is a jerk. I disagree with his coaching filosophy and don't think it's fair that all the best players' can't play in Brazil.

Here's a link to my petition:

I'm glad you understand where I'm coming from! I would love to support your petition but the link doesn't work.

I want to run at the state series which is where most colleges look for athletes

I can tell you as a former college coach that they don't care where you run it. It's all about the time. Admittedly, if you don't run super fast or at state, we may not find it. But we recruit talent.

Sounds like we have some prima donnas that think they know more than their coach. Sounds also like we have some spoiled children that dont know how to spell the word TEAM. Im sure your coach is inexperienced and doesnt have a clue what hes doing. Bull. Suck it up and do the training, report any injuries and get treatment. Do you really think a college coach will let you run the way you want to be trained? No matter how good you think you are, a college coach will shy away from a non team runner. Think about that. Whiners dont make good runners or good teammates. No one in their right mind would sign a petition as selfish as this. Grow up.
