The meaning of being a student-athlete means many things. One of those things include responsibility. It is incredibly important to keep up to date and stay on task when you are away on a sports commitment. I am getting a taste of this while I am in Colorado for the remainder of these two weeks. You are held to a higher stand as an athlete, athletically and academically.
Another thing of being a student athlete means time management. This is hard to juggle at first but then becomes easier. It becomes progressively simpler when you are living on your own. Boarding school student athletes can relate to this.
In my opinion, the last important part of being a student athlete is to have the ability to control your emotions. You could have a major test coming up along with a major race. You still have to show presence and nail both. Lots struggle with this along with myself. It ties in with time management part. However, your attitude is involved. Controlling your attitude on the hill, off the hill, is all very important.
