Finding Balance Between Academics And Sports

By: A. Hemnani

In our school community, we have lots of athletes and great students! Have you ever wondered how they keep a safe balance between school life and their sports life?

As you move up in the senior school you begin to have more academic responsibilities, such as tests, checkpoints, and exams, however you also start participating more in sporting events like entering a JV or a varsity team. This means  you start going to different tournaments like, Little 10 or ISSL. You would also participate in fixtures of the SPHSL(São Paulo High School League). It is very important to keep a healthy balance between schoolwork and sports. 

Everyone has their own way to study and  to train, some people could even train outside of school, they should still know that they should have balance. In both your school life and later in work life you will always need to make a way to find balance between physical activity and work life. It is very important to be both physically healthy and mentally healthy. This is why, it is recommended to maintain a good balance from a young age.

A lot of our great athletes today, also struggled in finding a healthy balance, and they could have missed many opportunities if they put more time in their education as they did in sports. However, a lot of these athletes relied on their abilities in sports to bring them opportunities in life. 
 
To find balance, it is crucial to know that everything is better in moderation.
