"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.” Said by the famous Wayne Gretzky. Student athletes are all around the world working hard not only for their grades, but for their sports as well. Being a student athlete can be very time consuming and the only way to stay on top of their game is working ahead of schedule. There are many different results that occur from being a student athlete such as the character traits, and the passion that are picked up along the road to success. In order to be a successful student athlete not only must a person be willing to spend a lot of time practicing, but that person must also be prepared for all of the obstacles that can come along the way such as; stress, character flaws, and even weak mental strength.
The most important thing to know about student athletes is that they are very busy people. Being a student athlete can be very difficult for people especially during school time knowing that they have to do both sports and class work. In order to forget about these obstacles one must be willing to work for that extra hour or two every day after both school and athletics. Here is a video to show the life of a student athlete in college and what they go through.
From the video, it shows what a student-athlete really goes through and how hard it is. In my next blog post I will talk to Will Knable and try to help resolve the debate on whether these athletes should be paid. I found this video very helpful since I am planning on paying a sport. It shows me what it is really like to be an athlete in college and the challenges there are.
