Questions for the Alumni...

What strategies helped you to succeed as a student-athlete?

TD: Try to balance the school work with soccer practice and game time Know that at this moment the soccer limelight may fade and that you must have a solid foundation from your education and field of choice (major) that will carry you past soccer.

SE: I wouldn’t call it a strategy but as difficult as it sometimes was, I had the most academic success during the soccer season, when my schedule was very rigid It’s easier to find the time to do an hour’s worth of work when you have an hour than when you have half a day I would advise to not be afraid to work and study with others but to avoid working with those who have less urgency to get the work done
