It’s all about time management. Although I am not an “official” athlete, I am a triathlete that trains a decent amount; roughly 12-14 hours per week. I managed to start a triathlon club, train for collegiate nationals, maintain my 3.7, and be a treasurer of our on-campus BMES organization. I did have to make some sacrifices; like staying in on some Fridays when my communication major room mate was out on the town, but it was definitely worth it. I can imagine the travel demands of an athlete being much more of an issue for athletes that have races more than once a semester, though ;)
