Always picked last for my sport, and how to feel better?
Well, you could say I'm not really the popular type. It's not that I'm extremely unpopular either, I'm just pretty nerdy in general, because I'm interested in learning and adult life. That type of aura around me which is "I don't anything about pop culture" kind of drives off people. That, plus, I'm not that athletic (sort of, but not really).
I don't really mind being unpopular in school, but I swim on a team, and I'm in a fast group but am slow. I'm guessing my popularity and my speed (though I'm not the slowest!) attribute to the fact that I'm ALWAYS picked last in relays (races with many people).
This just really makes me feel bad. Is there anything I can do always after my relay to make me feel better when I am inevitably chosen last?

Have you seen "Back to the Future?" When the high school football star / cool guy is waxing your car, you will have had the last laugh.
Certainly this is an over-simplification, but with the intent to help. Unless you plan on working in a field that requires fast relay-race times, it's all pretty much just nonsense that you have to put up with for now.
I was in the same boat that you're in now, and know that thinking about your future life doesn't help a great deal in accepting your current one. There isn't a lot that can be said to ease your legitimate feelings - just hang in there, it will get better.
This isn't much, but I hope that it helps! Best of luck to you.

dont feel too bad about that. i'm always picked last too cause i'm really really bad at sports and everyone knows it xD i dont really mind I just laugh it off. just have more self confidence and you wont feel bad. maybe they think youre "bad" at running but i'm sure that they know you're good at school. i know a lot of people who always get picked last and some of them arent even bad OR unpopular but just have that 'unsporty" aura too xD. cause there's one girl and she's all barbie like and very popular but also gets picked last cause she's really skinny & looks like she doesnt have enough energy to do sports very well.
honestly dont worry about it and just laugh it off. think about the friends you have & you dont have to be liked by anyone anyways. and just cause youre picked last doesnt mean that youre not popular :)
