Picture this: an empty calendar. There are ten months’ worth of empty white squares awaiting potential plans. The options are endless for what events could pass the school year along. Now picture another calendar, where each of those previously mentioned empty squares are overflowing with responsibilities. In fact, just a daily calendar is insufficient. Hour by hour, minute by minute a schedule is set.
The first calendar mentioned belongs to most students starting the school year. The second belongs to most student-athletes. With 5 a.m. workouts, class, conditioning, study hall, practice, team meetings and games each minute of their day is consumed.
