In high school it's always important for athletes to find a good balance of schoolwork and sports. We know what it's like because we play soccer, football, and basketball throughout the school year. It's always hard to come home past 9 after a long game to a backpack full of homework.
Well here are some things that may help.
1. If it is a project, start as soon as it is assigned. Don't save it for the last night...especially if it's a game night.
2. Do homework whenever you have any free time. I know it's tempting to nap because of a late night and practices, but it's definitely better to sleep at night when you're supposed to.
3. If it's possible, look ahead of what you're doing and maybe knock out some homework for the week during the weekend. Make sure to keep time for relaxing or going out, but try to fit some homework in too.
4. If it just isn't working out, put school first at all times. I know a game is important to you now, but you're education will be important for your whole life.
5. Put your heart into everything you do to get the most of what you do. When playing sports, give it 100% heart. When studying, give it 100% heart, or brain..?
These will help you stay on track for both school and sports during your seasons. Study hard and play on!
