Let the party begin. Christmas break is here!
I'm more astounded than ever looking at college athletes, no matter the sport, knowing how much work I put into school and being a journalist, and seeing them succeed with high GPA's. How do they do it?
I know being a "student-athlete" means student first, but that's not always the case for athletes. I'm not trying to stereotype anyone, but even breaking it down to the average guy or girl, for many "students" in college, is it really about the classes?
It's hard enough to balance my job with schoolwork, much less an athlete balancing practice, meetings, travel, and games.
These guys are tough, not only physically but mentally as well.
Props to the ones who put forth the extra effort. It pays off!
