Wake up. Practice. School. Sleep. Do it again.
This is the life of a Duke student-athlete.
With the constant juggle between the strenuous practice schedules and rigorous academic course loads, student-athletes rarely step out of this bubble. At a school like Duke, which has one of the country’s best combinations of athletic and academic programs, this bubble is especially prevalent. But organizations such as the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), although still in the realm of athletics, work to break this barrier and give athletes a chance to be leaders and make an impact off the field for generations to come.
