Trying to be an academic student is hard enough, but being an academic athlete is even harder. It's hard to balance both things at once. To be an academic athlete I didn't find it hard at times to balance any sport and school work. Especially when having practice because it’ll be hard to do it after practice because you're not sure when practice will end. Not only that sometimes teachers pile work after work and it’s hard for not only students who aren’t doing a spot but students who do sports and other extracurriculars.
