The summary part 2 will continue to giver an overview of Troy women’s soccer team blog. As mentioned on part 1 people have learned from the posts what it takes to be a division I student athlete. It takes a lot of hard work on and off the field in order to succeed as a student first and as a player second. Those two posts are another popular topic mentioned in the blog.
The “Harsh Reality of College Sports” and “Summer B” got the readers attention and some feedback from soccer fans on how they did not know what it really takes to be as successful as they are on the field and in the classroom. When talking about failing to be a division 1 student athlete, nearly one third of college athletes quit during their time in college. This happens because some students just realize that they have lost the love for their sport, they can’t juggle school and soccer and the workload, they have bad relationships with the coaches or players, or they simply just don’t want to put the work in that comes with being a college athlete. When you quit, obviously that money is no longer going to be given to that player anymore. Depending on the players family situation financially, players must realize that if their college education is relying heavily on the money they are receiving from their sport, they have to keep that in mind when making their final decision.
When deciding to commit to a division I, athletes have to keep in mind that they will be working even when the academic semester is over mentioned in the “summer B” post. Coming in for the summer usually means you’re not going to be seeing many of your non-sports friends because most of them are home for the summer, so this gives you the chance to get even closer to your teammates. The most important thing about being on a team with other people is not just being able to tolerate them but being able to see them as your extended family. Your teammates are going to be the ones who are going to be able to relate to you more than anyone
