      I'm a college athlete running cross country and track, it's definitely time consuming and much more serious (I'm at a D3 school but still have to run 7 days a week with 2 days of weightlifting), but I love running and the team so much it's worth it 😃

    Hey i know u don’t know me and all but i am a junior in high school and i have been researching for colleges and I’m supposed to start my plan now so i am not sure if i want to be a student athlete when i get to college because I’m afraid I’m not ready for that commitment do you think that it is worth it? Because i absolutely love this sport i want to play but I’m not sure.

    • @blairrussell2237
      @blairrussell2237  6 років тому

      Hi Lauren! Honestly I think it's different for everyone! I loved it and I am so glad I stayed with it all the way to my senior year of college. Of course there were times I thought about quitting and that it wasn't worth it. I think every athlete does. I loved it and I couldn't imagine my life without it. I made a ton of connections and friends through it and I truly believe it made me a better person! But if you heart isn't in it 110% you probably won't enjoy it! You're love for the sport will be tested for sure! I hope that helps you!

    • @LuLuRocken
      @LuLuRocken 6 років тому

      See i love the sport with all my heart and i always have had the goal of doing it in college but after research and getting older and realizing that it’s a lot more work then i ever would have thought as a kid. I know i have time to decide i just don’t want to regret for the rest of my life not doing the thing i love the most in college. I’m just a non organized person and I’m not sure how it would work out for me in reality.

    • @blairrussell2237
      @blairrussell2237  6 років тому

      I am not organized either but it really is a tool that teaches you how to time manage and organize! If you love it, go for it!!

      Yes! It's super time consuming but you can do it if you really focus and stay dedicated!

  • @mikaylapeterson6120
    @mikaylapeterson6120 6 років тому

    im going into high school next year and i have been in volleyball for three years. i love the sport, my goals are to make the varsity 1 team by junior year, and apply for a scholarship to a d1 level college. i have found myself to be a great player and at time management. however, the one thing im really nervous about is more intense conditioning. it just seems so tiring and even impossible. does anyone have any tips/comments?

    • @blairrussell2237
      @blairrussell2237  6 років тому

      Condition can be really hard! But it's a lot different in college. It is very intentional and specific to your sport. You don't just run a ton. You will have weight and conditioning programs specifically created and modified to help you get better at volleyball! I'm not saying there won't be days where you run a ton and or a day where is really really hard, but that's just part of playing sports! Especially if you want to go to a division I program!
