Ok guys and girls. We are now getting into the racing season. It is tempting at this point to start looking at races, but it is REALLY important that we are still keeping our primary focus on the training. We are shooting for big things at the end of the season, and for that to happen we still have a lot of work to do on a daily basis.
Also, school assignments and courseload will also be picking up. Successful student-athletes make necessary sacrifices to make sure that your performance in the classroom is reflective of your efforts with our sport.
