However, being a student-athlete is <strong>much more than going to class and playing sports. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">College is meant to provide young adults an experience to learn, grow, and develop in all aspects of their life. In order to be a successful student-athlete who excels in the classroom, on the field, and in the community you must master \u201cThe 3 S\u2019s\u201d, &nbsp;School, Sports, and Social Life. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>The First S, and most important, is the School.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/d3j2bju5c7tc02.cloudfront.net\/2018_32\/cropped-dreamstime_s_105156570.jpg\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/d3j2bju5c7tc02.cloudfront.net\/2018_32\/cropped-dreamstime_s_105156570.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3j2bju5c7tc02.cloudfront.net\/2018_32\/cropped-dreamstime_s_105156570.jpg\" alt=\"dreamstime_s_105156570.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/d3j2bju5c7tc02.cloudfront.net\/2018_32\/cropped-dreamstime_s_105156570.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason to attend college is to gain a solid education that will help you find a career path in order to help build a life for yourself after graduation. <strong>Balancing your academic responsibilities will be important if you want to be successful in your athletic endeavors.<\/strong> If you are not doing what you need to do in the classroom, you will not get the opportunity to perform on the field, court, pool, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a student-athlete you must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 Credit Hours per semester. Typically, most student-athletes are enrolled in 12-15 credit hours, or 4-5 classes, per semester. In short, the credit hours means how many hours per week are you in the classroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts say to achieve sufficient grades you should be spending 1.5 &#8211; 2 times the amount of time spent in the classroom on work outside the classroom, or homework. For a typical student-athlete who is enrolled in 15 credit hours they should be doing somewhere between 20-25 hours of work outside the classroom. To break it down by class, if you are in each class for 2.5 &#8211; 3 hours\/week, you should be doing 5-6 hours of work outside the class. <strong>Your academic responsibilities will require around 25-30 hours of your time each week.<\/strong> A third of your time on campus will be dedicated to School. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Second S is Sports.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d3j2bju5c7tc02.cloudfront.net\/2018_32\/cropped-dreamstime_s_41720408.jpg\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/d3j2bju5c7tc02.cloudfront.net\/2018_32\/cropped-dreamstime_s_41720408.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d3j2bju5c7tc02.cloudfront.net\/2018_32\/cropped-dreamstime_s_41720408.jpg\" alt=\"dreamstime_s_41720408.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"431\" data-mce-data-src=\"https:\/\/d3j2bju5c7tc02.cloudfront.net\/2018_32\/cropped-dreamstime_s_41720408.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/431;\"><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to importance, if School is #1, then Sports is 1A. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are obviously expectations of you as a student-athlete, from yourself, your coaches, teammates, and the school itself. That can be a lot of pressure on one individual, so being able to manage those expectations is essential. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step is understanding is the time you are going to need to dedicate to your sports.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In your Championship Season, your team is allowed up to 20 hours of Countable Hours of Related Athletic Activity (CHARA). This is across the board NCAA Division I, II, and III. &nbsp;CHARA, as it is known, includes team practices, lifting, conditioning, individual workouts with a coach, and film sessions. What this does not include is voluntary workouts, team meetings, rehab, community service projects, fundraising initiatives, etc. &nbsp;<strong>You can expect to dedicate anywhere from 30-35 hours per week dedicated to your sport. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a student-athlete, you are expected to be a good representation of your team and the school. &nbsp;You need to follow all of the team, school, and conference rules. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>As a student-athlete, you are also going to have to make sacrifices along the way and possibly miss out on some experiences you would otherwise not miss if you were a regular student.<\/em> &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being a student-athlete may require you to miss class time due to competitions. &nbsp;<strong>You are responsible for the work you missed while out of class.<\/strong> You are prohibited from missing classes due to any practices, lifting, conditioning sessions. &nbsp;If a coach asks you to, then you should report that to the appropriate authority in the athletic department, usually the Director of Compliance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After it is all said and done, you will spend around <strong>60 hours of your week<\/strong> focused on your academic and athletic responsibilities, that is almost half of your waking hours on campus. They say playing college sports is like a job&#8230;well it is because part of that job is going to class, so 60 hours a week is like a full-time job. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Last S is Social Life.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/d3j2bju5c7tc02.cloudfront.net\/2018_32\/cropped-dreamstime_s_54017338.jpg\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/d3j2bju5c7tc02.cloudfront.net\/2018_32\/cropped-dreamstime_s_54017338.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d3j2bju5c7tc02.cloudfront.net\/2018_32\/cropped-dreamstime_s_54017338.jpg\" alt=\"dreamstime_s_54017338.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"489\" data-mce-data-src=\"https:\/\/d3j2bju5c7tc02.cloudfront.net\/2018_32\/cropped-dreamstime_s_54017338.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/489;\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Social Life makes up the final piece of the college experience. It can\u2019t just be school and sports for 24\/7, or you will go crazy. You need to make time for your friends and finding time to step away from the first 2 S\u2019s.&nbsp; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, School and Sports will always need to come before your Social Life, so make sure you have your priorities straight. As a student-athlete, there are a lot of different activities for you to take advantage of. There are different clubs\/organizations you can join. Some of my best moments of being a student-athlete was dorm living, just hanging around with my friends watching TV, movies, playing video games, or making up some crazy new game like \u201cHall Ball.\u201d &nbsp;&nbsp;We all need time to unwind from the daily pressures of being a student-athlete. <strong>Make sure you find time to just be a college kid. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you are navigating through the college recruiting process, &nbsp;keep the 3 S\u2019s in mind. Find the school that will provide you with the best college experience academically, athletically, and personally.&nbsp; The school you ultimately select should be the one where you will develop in all aspects of your life.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em><em>CoachUp is the safest and easiest way to find a coach for personalized training.
