Day in my life as a college athlete

Hey sweeties!!

As a college athlete my day during practice days can be so long. So follow along with me on a normal thursday!

4:45am wake up

5:45-7:45 practice

10-12pm IT helpdesk work

12-12:30 lunch

12:30-1:45 Stats class

2-4 homework

4-6pm IT helpdesk work

6-7pm Dinner

7-9 Homework

I know my schedule looks crazy, but I promise I have some down time where I can relax ☺️

... Read moreIt's true, a college athlete's daily schedule isn't for the faint of heart! After sharing a glimpse into my routine, I wanted to dive a bit deeper into what really helps me manage it all, especially when every single day feels like a marathon. My 4:45 AM wake-up isn't just about getting to practice with my Saint Mary's Belles teammates; it's about setting the tone for a productive day. I've learned that planning is EVERYTHING. Before I even go to bed, I try to have a rough outline of my next day, not just for practice times but also for when I'll tackle my coding homework or review for stats class. This means less decision-making in the morning when I'm still half-asleep and more efficient use of my precious time. Between early morning practice, going to my stats class, tackling coding homework, and my IT helpdesk shifts, every minute counts. I prioritize tasks, tackling the most challenging ones (like that systems homework!) when I have the most energy. For instance, after practice, I always grab a big coffee cup to get me energized before my classes and work sessions. On the flip side, I finish the day with my systems homework and a calming cup of tea, a little ritual to help me wind down. Those small breaks between classes or before practice? They’re perfect for answering emails or reviewing notes. Even something as simple as cleaning my room and making my bed before heading out helps clear my head and gets me organized for the day ahead. These tiny habits add up and create a sense of control amidst the chaos. It's easy to get overwhelmed, but one thing I learned early on is the importance of self-care. Despite the early mornings, I aim for consistent sleep. It's tough, but absolutely vital for performance in both sports and academics. Being a college athlete also means understanding your body. I've had my share of challenges, like dealing with a torn UCL. It taught me the importance of listening to my body, proper recovery, and working closely with trainers. It's part of the journey, and adapting to setbacks is key to long-term success. And yes, my schedule looks crazy, but I promise there's downtime! It's about being intentional with my free moments, whether it's catching up with friends during lunch or relaxing in the evening. It's not always perfect, and there are definitely days I feel 'rough for practice,' as some of my photos show. But the camaraderie with my teammates, the achievement of pushing my physical limits, and the pursuit of my academic goals make every single demanding day worth it. Finding that balance, even when it feels impossible, is what keeps me going.

Be careful posting too much info of your schedule. You def need to stay safe and be sure no one can use this against you ❤️ the mom in me coming out lol. Great job juggling all that though! I did that myself and it’s a lot.
