For most athletes, training doesn’t stop once the final game’s whistle blows, once the last race of the season finishes, or when they take their last final and school is out for the summer. Collegiate athletics is a year-round commitment, but it’s one that most athletes are happy to work through.
Summer training looks different for every athlete. Some teams, particularly those with seasons in the fall or winter, usually have a pre-season during the summer. Athletes come to San Diego and train together as a group to get ready for their upcoming seasons. Most athletes playing spring sports will often train on their own over the summer, either at home or on campus.
