There's no denying this is a busy time of year for student athletes and their families. Between school, sports, homework, extracurricular and a social life, it can seem almost impossible to get everything in.
When athletes feel overwhelmed by their long list of priorities, they tend to start to let things go.
They feel if they can't do something enough, then why do it at all!?!
It's important to help young athletes understand the importance of time management and recognizing that sometimes, even a little bit goes a long way. Learning how to manage their priorities not only helps alleviate the current pressure on student athletes but also sets them up for long term success.
Taking an all or nothing approach to anything will certainly not get anyone any closer to their goals. Young athletes must learn to identify their priorities and focus on doing what they can when they can in order to get better.
Every little bit helps.
20 extra minutes of studying.
30 extra minutes of sleep.
1 hour per week of training.
Help your student athlete do an audit of their time/activities and I'm sure you'll find some opportunities for them get better focus on their goals all while making it less overwhelming for them in the process.
