The Life of a Student-Athlete in Song Titles

“Respect” – Aretha Franklin
Balancing both practice and schoolwork is an absolute art. I swear I be getting really creative with where I do my homework lately—aka the bus on the way to a track meet or randomly writing a paper on my phone in the lobby of the hotel.
It is a ~talent~ just to get through class assignments while traveling with a team or having a limited amount of time to complete assignments.
​The POSITIVES of having a strict routine and practice every day
-I am given the gift of structure and a schedule to help me stay organized and get my homework done. I know if I had all day to get assignments done, I would be on Netflix the whole day with no motivation. So I’m HAPPY to have a routine and motivation to be creative with how and where I do my homework. 

If that doesn’t deserve RESPECT , I don’t know what does.

​“Survivor” -Destiny’s Child

Student-athletes give EVERYTHING to their sport and then have school work and then STILL  have their own physical needs to take care of…

A huge part of surviving for me is finding time to be with my friends and relax--especially because I am someone who needs quality time with others to function.

BUT caring for yourself looks different for everyone- introverts would probably need to find time for themselves to help them survive.

​“Blood, Sweat, and Tears” -Ava Max

Honestly if you know you know

This song seems pretty self-explanatory: like you’ll be in practice for 2-ish hours every day or sometimes you’ll even have multiple practices each day and still go to classes – you best believe there are some tears shed here and there. 

This is when I am most grateful for my teammates because they are going through everything I am, my coaches have gone through this before and everyone on campus is very supportive of this busy lifestyle. 

At the end of the day, I get to represent my school on the track, doing what I love, and I go to a school that will support me and encourage me as I am still working towards a diploma. ​
