“The pain you feel today, will be the strength you feel tomorrow”

It’s been a minute since my last post. I hope you are all well. Today I am focusing on the importance of managing being an athlete and a student. Firstly, scheduling classes is a hugely important aspect of being a student-athlete. When scheduling classes make sure to leave time for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You focus so much on revolving your classes around practice, that it becomes very easy to forget that you need time to eat and fuel up. Secondly, staying up to date with homework is also a skill that most most athletes need to develop. It becomes exponentially harder to manage your time as an athlete. Not only do you spend hours training per day, the time when you are free your entire body is in pain and your mind fatigued.
Therefore my biggest recommendation would be to complete any of the smaller homework tasks as soon as class is over (or before lunch if you have morning classes). By checking off these smaller homework tasks, you are alleviating a lot of stress and will allow you to spend more time on the larger tasks. The last piece of (what I would call) “fundamentals” to consider, would be to constantly be checking your portal for any assignments or tests. It is so easy to forget about a task with all that is going on in your day. By setting reminders on your phone or simply checking before bed each night, you will eliminate the risk of not completing a task simply because you did not remember it. I hope these fundamentals will help you in your academics and you performance as an athlete. I will see you guys soon where I will discuss even more tips and share some personal stories.
