On Being a Student Athlete…

A great article on being a Student-Athlete and dealing with professors in class.

A reflection from a former student athlete on her career.  “To the girls who are the midst of it all right now—those early mornings and sprints may seem horrible now, but trust me, you’re going to miss them. Cherish every moment you have on the field, and don’t take any pitch for granted. Play the game well, but love your team even more.”

Here is a cool interactive tool I found to help figure out how long it will take you to reach mastery.  10,000 hours of perfect practice in your field of expertise.
