So that part is fun to me and I love traveling and I love being on trips with my team and playing . Um , but it's a school , definitely like aspect I'd say of being a student athlete , being in college is the difficult part . And that's definitely about just using the resources that , you know , we're given and just being able to work on my time management , which is definitely something I would say I'm still working on .
We took a trip to Penn State this year and when we were out there , it was really tough to take our midterms on the road . And I think that's not something that a lot of people understand is that we still have the same pressures of school that regular people have . And I think , you know , a lot of times people just have the assumption that athletes get free tutoring or anything they want .
We're going to be talking about all things within the UCL A men's volleyball program , including our national championship round last year . What it took struggles we faced and just why we chose UCL A to play volleyball and go to school at . Yeah .
Um , I just wanna get your thoughts on the quarter system and how that affected our season . Yeah , I think when we have some critical matches when we're in midterms and finals week and so trying to be able to separate school and sports is really tough . We took a trip to Penn State this year and when we were out there , it was really tough to take our midterms on the road .
And I think , you know , a lot of times people just have the assumption that athletes get free tutoring or anything they want . And I , um , and so , yeah , it's really hard to like mentally , stay ready to compete on the court and get your school work done . And , um , there's a lot of tasks that go into other than just what people see of us on the court .
