What It means to Be a Student Athlete?
Chances are if you make it to college athletics, you have already put countless hours, blood, sweat and tears into the sport you play. College athletics is the next step in becoming a better athlete. But is it like a hidden life that only the dedicated workers get to experience.
While the average college student schedules classes alter than 10A.m., most student athletes—me included—get out of bed at 6A.m. and get in practice. We must schedule our classes around our practices to make sure that we can give 100 percent both in the classroom and at practice. Student athletes may experience the joy of going to class sweaty after lifting weights without having any time to shower. Your average girl student, by contrast, comes in wearing a nice outfit and a full face of make-up.
When the average students shows up to class 45 minutes late, it often angers the student athlete who has been up since the crack of dawn. Some might say student athletes are not smart and that they're only there to play sports. My response to that would be: Try training 20 hours a week and then being attentive every day in class. The free time that we do have is spent at the study hall studying for upcoming tests.
Being a student athlete is much more than the early wake-up time. It is much more than tight schedule. It is much more than no free time.
Being a student athlete means that we put our school's name on our backs and represent it doing what we love. We have worked hard to get where we are and that pride of stepping up on game day is worth every ounce of sweat.
Being a student athlete means that we are among the most athletic ones in our age group. We get to meet other athletes who are gifted and dedicated. We get to create bonds with those who share a passion for athletics.
Being a student athlete means that young kids look up to us in an admirable way. We have the influence to give them power and keep them reaching for their dreams. When we look back on our time with college athletics, we won't remember how much we hated specific exercises. We will remember the pure joy and great pride that we feel in doing what we love with those who we love.
