“What I Wish I Knew”
This is my fifth year as a student-athlete and there are many things I wish I knew beforehand.
I understand that hindsight is 20/20 but I strive to create a culture in college athletics where the statement, "I wish I knew..." was used less. Out of all the things I wish I knew, the thing that stands out to me the most is that my college athlete experience has been nothing like I thought it would be however, it has enabled me to grow leaps and bounds.
When I was in high school I wanted to rush into my college career because I told myself that it was going to be everything that I saw on TV and in the movies. Then when I got to college I found myself regretting the days I had wished away. College is hard, and being a student-athlete is even harder.
