- The TRUTH.... Today’s video goes in depth on the pros, cons, and the reality of college running from my experience as a D1 athlete. This comes from my unique experience and perspective so others may not be in the same boat or had a similar experience. I was blessed and grateful to compete at the D1 level but was also one of the most challenging and frustrating journeys I've had. I talk about what I noticed and took away over my four years at the University of Tennessee and some things to keep in mind for current and prospective college athletes.

As a D1 track athlete! People need to realize not all D1 schools are created equal! You have high D1 such as Tennessee, Mid D1 such as UTEP, and low D1 such as Elon… some D2/D3 schools are better than D1! D1 means you just compete at a higher level and it’s more competitive! Plus with some perks.
Great way to put it
The best you tube series of video, I LOVE YOUR content because you give an opinion without any filters to it. Thank you so much for making them! KEEP UP WITH THE CONTENT!!!
Thank you for the kind words! Really means a lot
as a d2 athlete, you are absolutely correct about the fact that you don't get a normal college life, however, I enjoy staying really busy. but that stress for exams can really build up on you after doing a really hard workout and then going home and devoting the rest of the day to your schoolwork. Really good video brother! 💪
Thanks for the comment! I also agree that I love the rigid schedule that kept me busy but yes it can get overwhelming. Honestly it's the toughest when the sport ends bc now you have to figure out how to function outside the athlete routine
Great video. Thank you for sharing both sides of your experience competing at the highest level.
Of course! Thanks for tuning in
Hey man, thank you for the video🙏 I'm a junior college track and field athlete and just finished my first season. What you said is 100% true; like academics, it's a hard transition from high school. The season didn't go the way I expected and was thrown off by the politics that killed my love for it, but I still tried my best to make it count. It gives me solace to hear another athlete talk about similar struggles, especially one competing at the high D1 level, as it brings a sense of communtiy for others like me. Thank you for sharing my dude🙏
of course! thanks for tuning in
Im going to army west point for track and im super excited. Great vid!
Thank you! Best of luck
This sounds more like a TED talk than a YT video. Thanks for sharing!
I was a D1 walkon at a small college, a distance runner who topped out at 60-70 miles a week and not very good. This was back in the early/mid 90s. The support structure that exists today wasn't there. But many of my friends were on the team. My biggest advice is to structure your time and make sure you budget time for studying. 3:30-5:30 or 6 practice, then shower, dinner, 7 or 7:30 until 11 or until done for studying. And high school seniors, ask prospective coaches their philosophy for developing you and their attitude toward the student side of student-athlete make sure it rings true to you.
Other than that, listen to this guy, nice breakdown!
Nice video. Definitely good things for me to think about while deciding whether the DI or DIII route is a better fit.
Thank you! Best of luck with your decision and hope you can use some of these tips in your decision

You ever plan to come to Florida By any chance?
Not sure if I'll get down there for a while. Sometimes I go to the beach there but don't plan on going anytime soon
@@prestonruth oh ok
What's your audio setup?
I have a mic attached to my camera and that's really it. I sometimes will adjust some things post edit but it's pretty straightforward
@@prestonruth nice, what camera do you shoot with?
@@nathanjames__ I shoot with a Sony ZV-E10. Pretty reasonable price and has been a good starter camera for me
@@prestonruth I’ve been thinking about getting that camera for my own channel.
@@nathanjames__ you should man! been super great for me so far
Hey Preston - I work for a company who are interested in sponsoring a video with you - I tried reaching out to your business email but it didn't work. Could you let me know how best to reach you? Thanks
Hey! Thanks for the comment. Sorry the email didn't work. I updated it so that one should work if you need that but text is best for me 👍
BTW Do you know Who Joaquim Cruz is?
I do not know who that is
@@prestonruth 😱😱😱
@@prestonruthBrazilian middle distance runner from the 80’s, your older twin.😊
@@keithdorsett8346 he'd have to let his hair grow a few months and double his stride length, but I see it!
Are you related to Brooks Ruth?
Yes he's my younger brother
No way that 7% of American high schoolers make it to D1 for even one season or year. I dont know where you gathered that statistic.
In a typical 45 person team at a high school of 2000, that would come to 3 boys and 3 girls each year. The average is more like 1%.
