With it being the end of the year for college students who are now getting ready for finals and \u00a0trying to decided what they want to do for the summer it can be a stressful time. Being a first year student as well as an athlete is stressful enough but to add finials to the mix just makes it even tougher. In college teachers are asking you to remember stuff from the eight and nine weeks ago while you’re competing on the field for hours, plus working \"Image<\/a>in the weight room when other kids are spending time studying. Now as an athlete you’re probably asking yourself why are teachers doing this to us? Don\u2019t they know everything we are going through and have to do on a day by day basis. You also probably are thinking all these classes are a waste of time and there is no point of going or doing any of this work. My perspective was a lot like most athletes who come to school just to play sports and feel like school is just something they have to put up with to play their sport.<\/p>\n

JUST STEP BACK AND TAKE A BREATH<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Image<\/a><\/p>\n

Now I\u2019m not saying there is anything wrong with having this attitude but what I\u2019m saying is if you’re an athlete you need to have a second thought about how much effort you put into school and what your attitude toward school says to your teachers. My attitude is that don\u2019t write school of so quickly it\u2019s not as bad as you think it is and it can help your athletics in some way.<\/p>\n

IF I CAN DO IT SO CAN YOU!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

For example I\u2019m finishing up an English class this quarter that I was not to happy about taking just because I was ready for the school year to be over. But something changed I got a paperback that the teacher said I missed some key details and that\u2019s why I got the grade I got. At the time I was think this teacher just want\u2019s to create more work for me but I then took a step back and started to realize that all she \"Image<\/a>is trying to do is make sure I understand the material and that I pay attention to the minor details.. Now you might be thinking what the is my point, my point is that don\u2019t think of school as a waste of time because it can make you better in your sport just like my teacher made me realize I need to pay attention to the minor details to make a paper not just good but great.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
