Hi Jacob. Managing studying, sports, and college life at the same time can be challenging. First, you need to create a weekly schedule, write down class times, sports practice, and study hours. Having a routine helps you stay organized and reduces stress. It also helps to decide which tasks are most important each day so you know what to focus on first.
Using small breaks during the day is another helpful habit. Many students have free time between classes or before practice. Instead of wasting that time, you can use it to finish short assignments, review notes, or prepare for the next class. This keeps schoolwork from piling up and makes evenings less stressful. Avoiding procrastination is important, too. Doing assignments early gives you more time to relax and do well in both school and sports.
To stay balanced, you also need to take good care of both your body and your mind. If things start to feel too overwhelming, don't be afraid to talk to your teachers or coaches. They can offer support, give advice, and sometimes help adjust your schedule. Many colleges also have academic support services, like tutoring, that student-athletes can use to stay on track.
