Time commitments for student-scholars Student-scholars are busy people who need to be dedicated to succeed in both sport and study.

Time management is a crucial skill that as a student-scholar you need to learn in order to prioritise.

The ability to make your own responsible choices regarding your study and sports career, is vital in becoming an independent and self-aware individual.
