Sports and School
Do you play a sport or are involved in an after school activity? We all love sports after school because it gets our minds off of the stress from the day. But when you go home after a good intense practice, you just want to go straight to bed. Well at least that's what I want to do. During high school soccer season I tend to study for much less time than I would when soccer's over. Along with the no time I have already, I always want to hang out with my friends even though I know I have a ton of homework and things to do. So during sports season I always notice that my grades are considerably lower than when I'm able to go home and have time to relax to myself. All of us need to find someway to balance our school and activity's schedule, but its almost impossible to do because some days you are just bound to ignore or forget that you have a bunch of work to do and try to finish it so you can get some decent sleep.
This is certainly an issue for student athletes. If you (or anyone else) plans on playing collegiate sports, you have to figure this out! How can you make it work? ~ Mrs. Kopp
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting perspective. Most studies I've seen have shown that student-athletes perform better academically IN SEASON because they are forced to be more disciplined with their time. In the off-season, they become more complacent and less focused. I hope you find a way to balance the time crunch, because it's not going to go away.
