Being a student athlete is a very unique job and it also come with some very unique snuggles that all college athletes know well.
1. Evening lifts after practice
Nothing better than dying just a little bit more than you already died at practice!
2. Trying to schedule in your naps for the day
We know there's not enough hours in the day but we still all try anyways.
3. Having the body of a 40 year old at age 20
Everything hurts all the time.
4. Being judged for wearing sweats everywhere
Hey, at least we are comfy!
5. When your coach asks you to host a recruit
Yes, it sucks, but at least there is free food involved.
6. Morning runs
Yay for no sleep.
7. Trying not to eat everything in sight
But we are SO hungry ALL THE TIME!
8. Having to say no to going out because you have a game the next day
9. Dying the next day because you decided to actually go out before a game day.
Don't lie, we all have been there at least once.
10. Most importantly, but not always a struggle, spending everyday seeing the same 10+ people everyday.
You may want to kill them sometimes but in the end you know you would be nowhere without your teammates.
Sure, being an athlete is hard but usually the benefits outweigh the struggles. Sure we go through all of these painful struggles weekly at least but at least we know we have a group of people just crazy enough to struggle with us. And we are lucky enough to call these people our teammates.
