Being a star athlete in any sport is a great thing in high school you work hard to strive for perfection in the class room and on the field/court but what happens at the next level? There is college athletes that get to the next level an forget that they are “student athlete”  they forget that they are given the privilege to play a college sport although they worked hard in high school they have to realize the work is just now beginning . There are teacher’s that will pass you because you are an athlete but are they really helping you? No there not, they are setting you up for failure what do you do when you get hurt and can’t play any more are they still going to pass you are do they expect you to step up more as an student an work harder how will they help you cope with the end of your career? I’ll tell you they won’t they will treat you like the average student and then you will be alone left with the will to play and the desire to give up on school the  thing that was most important in your life.
