I'm never motivated to do my sport, and I feel dread for trainings. Should I quit?
I've been swimming since I was 6 or 7, and I'm only a little bit better than others my age. I never feel motivated to train, and I constantly miss practice. I only swim the events I know I can do in meets, and I improve very slowly. I don't get much sleep, and I get slightly above average grades. Does anyone have advice on motivation and/or when I should quit?
Should I decide my college based on swimming or academics?
Many schools are offering athletic scholarship but those schools don't have the best academic programs #college-athletics #college-selection #swimming #college-advice #college
How difficult is it to swim competitively in college with relatively low experience?
I am a junior, and this is my first year swimming competitively. I love it a lot, but I'm worried that my lateness to the sport will limit my options as far as carrying my swimming "career" into college. I'm decently fast for how long I've been competing--I currently swim a 1:08.13 for the 100 free, 1:31.20 for the 100 fly, and a 0:31.77 for the 50 free (all short course, women's events), and I'm expecting to drop even more time for my last meet of the season (which takes place next week). I've dropped 13 seconds on my 100 free, 40 seconds on my 100 fly, and 7 seconds on my 50 free since the start of the season, and I think I have the potential to be even faster--but the problem is that I don't have enough time/experience to drop my times to anything super incredible. I feel like, given the opportunity in college, I could do even more, but I want to know what odds I'm up against based the experience I have. I know it varies from college to college, so my main picks are BYU, University of Utah, Stanford, or really any other good universities (particularly in the West, but I've considered University of Maryland, etc--nothing outside the US). How do I stack up? Obviously swimming for Stanford (or even going to Stanford) is most likely not going to happen, but if anyone has any advice for being able to swim in college, please let me know! #swimming #stanford #byuprovo #college #sports
How difficult will it be to get an athletic scholarship for college?
I've been doing a lot of research about college scholarships in general. I make good grades, and I'm a decent swimmer. There is so much competition out there and that makes me a little nervous about my chances. #college #scholarships #athletics #recruiting #financial-aid #swimming
What are some good ways for high school students to gain experience?
I did not have a lot of experience outside of school and volunteering when I started at university, and my brothers are both looking as they could be in the same boat as I was. I have given them a couple of suggestions from things that I learned, however, is there anything that anyone would suggestion for their fields specifically? One wishes to be an engineer (and a swim coach), the other a game designer. Thank you! #high-school #experience #volunteering #engineering #game-design #sports #coaching #swimming
