I just got done working with a few student-athletes in a summer academic program. It was a fun and rewarding experience. It also reminded me, in the middle of the summer, how much college-age student-athletes love to do two things: 1. Sleep. 2. Eat.
Wow! These facts are evident to me during the school year, when 5:30 a.m. or 6 a.m. bus trips are the norm. What happens on these bus trips? A lot of sleeping and eating.
Such was the case with these summer student-athletes. They slept every chance they could -- including the short, 10-minute breaks afforded them in the middle of the class sessions. And today, on the last day of class, we celebrated what was a very productive 6-week session with some doughnuts and muffins. Devoured in a matter of minutes.
Afterwards, they departed for their rooms – no doubt to take a quick nap.
