D1 Softball Players have no life except . . .

books and ball. The NCAA reports that D1 softball players report spending an average of 37.1 hours per week on athletic activities during the season. These data are self-reported and include all sport-related activites including time in the training room. This is the highest number reported for any NCAA women's sport. These same athletes report spending 38.5 hours on academic activities.

You had better love softball and everything that goes with it if you are going D1!

 

Experience is a great teacher.....
Listen well, this is a test..

Be absolutely sure you can handle the pace and requirements.
Don't fool yourself.....

If you don't think you can for one minute, you can't....

 

Probably Best Advice EVER ON TBR !!!

D2 is the same as well

The same goes for Division 2 softball too!! This is coming from a player herself!! You better love the game because it will be your life!!!

 

College isn't all about books.....

.....which are obviously why a kid is there, but time management is learned big time when at school. As for the pace or regimen of an athlete, yes, its a big committment. There are positives galore with being part of an athletic program as well. Travel, tutors, the very best in sports med., awesome facilities to be proud of, PERKS! AND for those who really are committed to school and sports, its a chance of a lifetime that SO many other kids would die for. Fishman.

 

Research also shows that most athletes are glad they played!
