College Athletics

Athletics are a major aspect in the lives of many high school students.  When sports are so much a part of your identity it can be hard to imagine never playing the sport(s) you love again in the future.  Luckily, you don’t have to walk away from your sports completely when you head to college.  Some students will participate at the varsity level in college while others will elect to participate on club or intramural teams.  No matter what level of sports you decide to pursue in college, try to remember that you need to embrace your passions and build upon your hobbies as they help bring balance to your life and that will help to reduce your stress.

While there are definitely advantages of college sports, it is important to realize that simply because you are going to continue participating in athletics, it does not mean that you will receive athletic scholarships.
