Taking Care Of Your Body

As the summer months approach and temperatures rise, it is crucial to take care of your bodies. Being a student-athlete is already a grind as it is, so do not let yourself become dehydrated, over-exhausted, or weak. SLEEP! Sleep is one of the most important parts of being a student-athlete. Your body recovers most when you sleep and it is crucial to get that recovery! That extra game of Blackout or Fortnite might sound fun in the moment, but in the morning when you wake up extra sore, you will regret that sleep. Sleep is vital to recovery, remember that! EAT.

Most student athletes can agree with me when I say that a majority of their college friends are people from their team. Here are a few tips to help that: As important it is to have a good relationship with your teammates, it is just as important to have friends outside of your team.  As an athlete you spend a lot of time with your team day in and day out. In order for you to keep your healthy relationship with them, it is understandable that sometimes you just need a break from them.  Go to campus events, parties, and other sporting events to make other friends.  Take a day off from studying and go hang out with your neighbors on your floor or your significant other.  To keep a balance between school, sports, and a social life you should try to branch out and find more people to hang out with. ...
