Life Of A College Athlete

  As you guys have read by the title “off day of an athlete” sounds like you going to get some detail on what we can do on our free time well if you think that I would say your halfway right. Alright I can't speak for other sports for what I'm about to say, but when it comes to days off for football players it is not off days. It starts like this, there is nothing scheduled because obviously it's an off day so you technology have the day to yourself until you get a text from your position coach to have a position meeting about some things we need to go over as a group. Remember that nothing is scheduled so they can have a meeting any time of the day and usually I'll say meetings last for about two to three hours. After that you would have to go back to your room and now have homework to complete that you did not have time to complete during the weekday because you’ve been busy with football, class, recovering, and getting some rest. Now after that you would have...

  How is everyone's day going, todays blog is going to be about how my first week of spring practice went. So, I wake up at seven am every morning to get my mind ready to attack the day. I like to start off by blasting music to wake up the brain and body (if you have any good morning music suggestions don’t matter it can be gospel or rap, please drop your opinions in the comments). Then I brush my teeth and take a shower then I'm heading out the door. The first thing on my schedule is class, it depends on the day what class I have.

The thing about being a student athlete is learning how to manage time. If you don’t know how to manage classes and sport activities, you would have a hard time being an elite athlete on and off the field. But overall, I repeat the same schedule over and over until spring ball is over. if you have any...

What's up everyone, welcome to Life of a College Athlete! I am a college athlete from Broward County Florida  who’s come to give you an inside on what us athletes must go through to be who we are today. As you can see from the image above, I am currently an athlete that attends UNCP. Being an athlete has always been attached to me since I started playing the game of football at the age of four. I would say being an athlete is hard in general just without the school part being added in, but don’t get me wrong there are a lot of positives than negatives of being an elite college athlete. Imagine this must have to wake up five in the morning for two weeks straight everyday just to eat, run, lift weights, and attend meetings then must get ready to attack the day with full of energy because now you have classes to attend and would have practice later on that day, but not allowed to fall asleep in class unless you will get punished by the coach. Doesn’t that sound hard and st...
