How much stress do student-athletes go through?

How much stress do student-athletes go through? Should they get advantages?

• Briefly explain why you are interested in studying your topic: I have been a student athlete for all of my middle school and high school career. I feel like time between school and sports hurts your academic grades and puts a lot of stress on these students. So I want to research if sports and school relates to each other and how much stress these student go through.

• The overall question I plan on answering by the end of the project: I plan on answering and finding out if students athletes go through more stress and pressure than a regular non-sport student.

• Sub questions I will need to answer in order to answer the overall question: How many students play sports? How long are these students at practices? Do you have enough time for homework? How tired are you after a practice?   

• 

  My plan of research (what specific Library Databases, specific websites, names of authors, people, etc. will I pursue to find the answers to the questions above): I plan on surveying a large group of students and comparing non-sport athlete to student athletes. Also I will read articles and research if there are any books I can read about student athletes.
