Every athlete in high school or college knows what this is about. It's not easy to combine school life and sports life. It's not easy to study for all the tests and do all the homework and go to class and train and compete. It is simply not easy and sometimes we are not given all the facilities to balance both activities.
I've seen many kids my age have to quit sports to succeed academically. I wish we had an educational system that allowed us to be students and athletes (and to be at the highest level in both) and not have to choose between two activities that have a key role in our formation as people. But unfortunately I find myself juggling many times to find time to train and in intense times I have relegated athletics to the background or even given up competing to keep my grades where I wanted them.
Sometimes it is difficult, yes. But one way or another, when this is what we like, we always end up finding a way to make it work. Since in my case it's organization taken to the extreme, everyone has their own method.
See you soon!
