Holidays are not breaks

It is great to be home. I am done with my semester, done with FINALS, and ready to relax a week. At least, that is how most college students feel about Winter break.

Of course, if you are a student-athlete, it is a bit different. Winter break is a great time to get in a lot of training without the normal distractions. Coaches know this and capitalize on it.

Don't get me wrong, I love being able to devote all my time to training. It kind of feels like I am getting a glimpse of what it would be like to be a professional athlete, which is neat.

Basically, what I think I am getting at, is that being a student-athlete is really a handful. We do not get the breaks a typical college student has.
