sport or education?

goodguy Posts: 54 Joined: 2002/02/09	2002/05/24, 05:25 PM i can say that sport and education(school,college or university)are 2 different things.because we cant be good in some sport and do well in education.its impossible .either u spend time 4 sport or college. when we want to be a great sportsmen we always must miss some class or even not go to college. even i after hard workout i go home and i cant do my homework....i go sleep and not coming next day to college... ....if someone thinks other way correct me....!

Things like exam scores and focus in class will definitly improve. Many professional athletes are degreed professionals and use the acedemic skills they aquired in college later on in life. I have a friend who was a pro football player in the NFL who now has a sucessful stock brokerage. This guy is HUGE ! So get in school , get smart, get fit, and have it all. NEVER settle for less from yourself. -------------- Doug

I have talked with guys and girls who played colligate sports and were able to balance their academics in as well. Most of the people I talked with were great students too, and great athletes. PRIORITIES, set them and live by them, Cainsands said it PERFECT! "The only thing limiting us is ourselves .......also what doesnt kill us makes us stronger! Honestly I have felt this way goodguy but it was rare, it wasnt consistant, maybe you need to change your schedule around, between work, school, and lifting. Good LUCK! BQ

By no means is intermurals as serious as other collegiate sports but it took time and i made time for it. I set my priorities. Heres an example my senior year of college I only worked, attended classes, and lifted. I couldnt play flag or softball......didnt have the time, I prioritized..SCHOOL and MONEY and Lifting were more important, and unfortunately in that order BQ BQ

I took Muay Thai for a while and went a lot more than just once a week. That was on top of working out, school and a job. It's only hard if u make it that way.
