Scholar-Athleticism, The Perfect Balance

If your an athlete trying to balance both your school life and your sports life in the seemingly tiny amount of time in our lives, this post is for you. I am a scholar-athlete myself and know how difficult balancing the two can prove to be, so I decided to help others who may share my struggles. The number one rule is to stay dedicated, to do both your schoolwork and exercising. Habits are hard to break, so you want to start with the right choices and everything will get steadily easier over time. If you need to wake up a bit earlier or go to bed a bit later, do so and you will be grateful. Practice is often in the evening so I would suggest working on homework upon arrival from school for at least some time. Put everything you have into practice, eventually you'll come out stronger and won't feel as drained when you need to do homework. If you don't have practice everynight, you should still work out in the time period where practice would normally fall. This moulds your habits at a much faster rate than doing otherwise. Hopefully your not overloaded with homework, but if you are you should consider waking up 20-40 minutes later. It may not seem like much, but it can be extremely helpful if you work efficiently. The smartest way to obtain your energy is by eating small but healthy meals as well as healthy snacks in between meals. These steps made my life so much easier and I hope they can do the smae for you. This was my first blog and I would like some feedback on what you guys think.
