The schedule of a student athlete in college is predetermined by which every sport that person is partaking in and what that staff has to work around. In my case for my sport which is football, we operate in the mornings during the week as of practice time and we are usually done by noon unless certain circumstances may extend it to a later period. The majority of my time is committed towards football and that just for simple case of it not being my choice but that's just how my schedule works on a daily basis including weekends. Practice is total of about 12-16 hours of football that I am either mandatory to participate in or I voluntarily partake in related activities towards football. During the week so as far as monday through friday goes after practice I always have at least one class, some days I have three just all depending on the day. Regardless the day though before I can even process my train of thought I am up bright and early getting ready to already …show more content…
Technology is a honestly the majority of the distractions that cause myself to procrastinate while studying and finish assignments ahead of time. For example my phone just in general allows me to do so much now like it's almost not even funny how many different distractions are accessible from a phone. I could be online shopping, playing video games, communicating with friends, or even just browsing social media. I can literally just use my phone until there nothing left to look at and that alone can consume a great chunk of time throughout a single day. To stop myself from all these distractions I just give my phone away to my advisor, turn it off for the duration of my studies, or multi task until I eventually get my work done. Not all of these option are the best to resort to but it's what I do on a daily basis to get through
Haplessly, there is an endless measure of individuals who view this game as antagonistic and really not a game by any stretch of the imagination; numerous verbalize of just as a diversion. However, offer us a reprieve; shouldn't something be said about boxing, hand to hand fighting, and football these all are extremely perilous games. The main contrast in the middle of us and alternate games are that they all are organized, formally perceived, financed and advanced. Individuals need to optically recognize that each wellbeing step has been taken to discover nobody gets hurt. There are regions called "safe ranges" this is the place your barrel plug must be kept in your barrel just on the off chance that a shot is discharged the barrel attachment
That said, procrastinating can be caused by a variety of reasons. Phones or too much access to the internet can be used as a tool for procrastination. Having something on your person like a phone can be very distracting. Receiving notification, messages, and or text is distracting to most teens who usually have a very active social life. Technology has made our lives a hundred times easier, that's a fact.
As a student who has participated in high school sports and taken multiple AP and honors level classes, I know the challenges that accompany the standard school schedule. Practices and games for the basketball team took up over three hours of my time six days every week. During school days, I had to leave my fifth period early when I had games, taking away from my valuable learning time. This forced me to try to learn the material that I had missed during the time I was participating in an event that allowed me to represent my school district. This, accompanied by the homework of all my classes, led to my loss of sleep. During my freshman year, I went to bed around 12 A.M. every night and woke up at 6:30 A.M. the next day, allowing me three
Well it’s finally here, week 1 of the NFL season. Giants are traveling down to Arlington Texas to face off with division rivals, the Dallas Cowboys. A lot of story lines coming into this game we can look at here.
Some people who have never participated in extracurricular activities may ask, “What is so different between a student-athlete’s day compared to an average college student’s.” According to Richard Sherman, a former Stanford University student-athlete and now professional football player, student-athletes have mandatory lifting in the morning, meetings, and practices throughout the day during the season (Richard Sherman Student Athlete Education” 00:01:14-00:01:26). An average college student doesn’t have this time commitment. They may be involved in many organizations but the organizations don’t meet every day, which is a big difference between the two schedules. A study done by Penn Schoen Berland showed that “on average
If that comes second, then we are to assume that academics takes up more than 43 percent of the week which leaves less than 14 percent, or 23.5 hours, for other areas such as social activities, sleep, and religious activities. That is not sufficient time in each week to fulfill these aspects and so brings up the problem of not having enough time in the week to devote to each important part of a person's college life. If there isn't enough time. Something has to go, or the time needs to be used more effectively. I have friends on the team and friends on other teams as well that seem to run into the same issue. They struggle juggling all of the things on their plate as an athlete as well as a student, and find that most of the time it comes at the detriment of the academics due to all of the persuasion from the coaches not to let it come from
These athletes have an very busy schedule they take after and when completed with their schedule they are left with little to no free time. College athletes are required to take at least twelve credit hours to begin the semester and need to pass no less than nine credit hours before the end of the semester. With this standard being a must be to be met, the student athletes are investing hours concentrating on studying and also going to class. Other than from studying and going to class the athletes then need to go to practice. Going to practice and fully engaging into practice takes up around four to seven hours of the athlete’s day.
I applaud you on the football illustration, you’re absolutely right! We get what we put in, so naturally the more time we put into observing the Word of God. I especially agree empathetically with your point of it might actually make people take time out of their days and get into their own Bibles. There is an opinion in this day and age that the church is on the decline. Some believe this because of the fact that the audience is no longer able to relate to the preachers. Is this because enough time isn’t spend observing the Bible? Has the preacher lost his fire and gotten comfortable enough to preach the passages he knows and grew up on? Why is it, do preacher avoid preaching out of books like Numbers, or Haggai? I think for you
College can be the greatest experience in a young adult’s life as well as the most stressful, if you have already completed your college years you probably remember how strenuous and taxing those few years of your life were. Now imagine dealing with 6am workouts and fitting a 3 hour practice in the day while having a full load of classes on top of that. The issue at hand right now is if being a collegiate athlete has a negative influence on academic performance. Some argue that just taking a full course of classes can be a plate full but to add the extra work and time needed to be competitive in collegiate sports can be overwhelming. However from being a college athlete I can say from first hand that it is a lot of work but can be done with good time management and extreme dedication.
During this time, I played basketball for Woodland Junior High and soccer for Fayetteville High School. The biggest challenge I had to overcome was managing my time between these activities, work, and the AP classes. An average day consisted of me going to school around 7:30 a.m. for basketball practice and then to my classes until 3:45 p.m. After school, I would proceed back to basketball practice until 5:30 p.m. By now, my day has already passed me by, however, after practice, I went to work from 6:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. After work, I then would get home around 10:45 pm and scramble to finish my homework by 11:30 p.m. Frequently I was forced to rush my homework for the reason that I knew I was going to have to wake up early the next morning for basketball. I would experience this routine for four or five days of the week. Occasionally, I would have to go into work when I’m not even scheduled because I am in charge of ordering redemption prizes and the food sold in the kitchen. These tasks brought a completely new level of responsibility being that I have to make sure we are stocked at all times. I also have a six-year-old sister so if I do not have work, then my time after school might revolve around her since both of my parents
Yesterday I took in both games at Willard R. Stargel Stadium, a place I have been to twice now and both times I have really enjoyed myself.
Lunch arrives and I'm stuck eating lunch in my friends car, jealous of all the other seniors that eat out daily. I bring my last bag of snacks to U.S. government and politics and discuss the daily events. Calculus is something fresh and challenging and I'm happy to have friends in the class. PE class is entertaining with my girlfriend Jenna as a tennis partner. The school day closes with a socratic seminar in Language and Composition. With the ringing of the final bell at 1:30, I get a feeling of relaxation, at least for 20 minutes. After school, I have football practice at 2. On a team that loses quite often (at least this year, the last two we've been to the finals), the duration of practice is about four hours long or more, six days a week. Football is where I get to relieve some stress by putting my focus and frustration into every hit. While it is an escape from the school life, it is no escape from mental and physical hard work required by the coaches. After a long football practice, a friend drives my brother and I home and we arrive around 6:30 to my mom making a necessary dinner. After eating a dinner with the entire family, I proceed from 7:30 on in my room to finish the required homework into the night varying how late I stay
Sometimes I end up miscalculating how long I will take to do something. This includes, but is not limited to; essays, Calculus book work, and driving. Incidentally resulting in a late night hurried rush to finish my work, not completing my entire math that night, or even going a tiny bit over the speed limit. I also strive to find time to put in everything that I would like to do. Ordinarily, I stay fairly busy working two jobs, practicing with the swim team, and studying for math tests. My average day starts with seminary at 6:30. Early morning seminary is an hour of gospel related lessons before school begins lead by a president. A seminary arranges an opening prayer, a chorister, a piano player, and someone to give a devotional each day before we even start, and that is exactly what I am. I also take care of attendance and help clean up once the class is over. Afterwards, I take a few the kids to school. From here I study for tests and check my homework from the previous night before class starts. AP Calculus is my favorite class that I take. Eventually, after a couple more classes and lunch, I leave the school to head over to work as part of the co-op program. Once I arrive at Bluegrass Cellular I predominantly work with spreadsheets and cell services as an Imaging Clerk. Swim practice comes after work at 5 o’clock. And since I am team captain I lead the stretches before practice until we get in the water
Get ready for school, pack your bags do not forget breakfast, go to school, make sure you finish your homework and ace those tests. The day to day life of a student is quite hard. Time management is the most necessary tool a student can have in life. The ability to schedule and make time for everything that needs to be done can help reduces stress that results from unorganization. Students have a heavy workload including homework from several classes and studying for tests throughout the year plus finals at the end of each semester. When you add a sport to the mix the amount of responsibility increases. A student athlete is expected to be at practice and games giving their all and to get their schoolwork done to maintain good grades. Student athletes have the same responsibilities as non student athletes plus the added workload of practices and games.
My college routine goes like this: Wake up, study, go to the gym, shower, go to classes, go to the library, practice the violin, go to meetings and activities, studying, and then back to my dorm for a restful sleep. I like to say that I can achieve my goals as a dual-degree student pursuing Music and Pharmaceutical Studies towards a PharmD. because I love the consistency in my routine. As a dual-degree student, I have 8-10 courses a semester that I need to take. Being organized and managing my time wisely motivates and allows me to do everything that the University of Connecticut offers for me.
