A Day in the Life

HEY GUYS!!
For my first real post I am going to talk to you about what an athlete really does in an actually full day...
Most people say, "Why are athletes so different from a regular student we have to do everything they have to do."
Or...
Others say, "Being an athlete is so easy I am sure, they get all that attention and everything they want." Not realizing what they are actually saying.

Okay, I am just going to set a list of a Monday day in the life of a collegiate athlete... (softball player)
5:25 a.m.- Alarm
5:30 a.m.- Get everything ready for the day, make sure you have a lunch packed because you wont have time to come home and make one before practice.
5:40 a.m.-Leave home for weights
5:45 a.m. Start Wildcat warm up (Stretching to get ready for weights)
6:00 a.m.-Start lifting weights and getting big :)
6:45 a.m.-Finish weights and head out to the football field to get our conditioning on.
7:30 a.m.- Head to cars in the parking lot get changed, or stay in your sweaty clothes.
8:30 a.m.- Go to class
9:30 a.m.-Break in between classes to have a snack, catch up on life with a couple friends.
10:15 a.m.-Head to class
10:30 a.m.-Class
11:30 a.m.- Get out of class go to a computer class to get some study hall hours in. (6 hours a week)
1:30 p.m.- Go get treatment before practice starts (oh wait still haven't eaten lunch;cram that in while getting treatment)
2:00 p.m.-Go to practice and have the time of your life.
5:00 p.m.-Get done with practice
5:05 p.m.-Go to training room again and get ice for all your bumps and bruises from practice.
5:30p.m.-AHHHHH sit down!!! Relax
6:00 p.m.-Make dinner
6:30 p.m.- Eat dinner
7:00 p.m.- Do some homework/study for test
8:00 p.m.- Maybe watch some TV
9:00 p.m.- Shower
9:30 p.m.- Prepare for the next busy day.
10:00 p.m.- BEDTIME

Wake up the next morning and start again. :)
I hope you had fun and learned something about a collegiate athlete that you didn't already know.
