School is hard enough by itself, and when you try throwing in an activity, basketball, that takes up anywhere from 30 to 40 hours of your time each week it becomes even more difficult. The stereotype of student athletes that don't have to do their work or that balancing school and sports is easy, may very well be one of the most inaccurate statements I have ever heard. With each semester every NCAA qualified athlete has to be enrolled in 12 hours every semester equaling usually 3-4 courses. Preseason is the second easiest part of the school year for most athletes, we have workouts, study hall, and practices. But it is not the work load you get when you are in your sports season. Each athlete is filled with excitement and energy because the season is coming. Preseason takes up a lot of an athletes time but not near as much as when you are in your sports season. When you are in season you have all the workouts, practices, games, and road trips to get to the games that take up a huge amount of time. Student athletes have to really learn how to time manage because with out it there would be no way to keep up on school work and be successful.
