Student Athletes

     In the article "Do athletes do better in school during their seasons?" the authors claim that student athletes tend to do better in school during the season. They say that they're more organized, they're more alert, and that they get their work done. However, they also said that in the end it just depends on the athletes themselves and what sports they're playing because during one season they can be on top of things while during another sport they're falling behind. I agree with the authors because when you're playing a sport, you don't have nearly as much free time as you used to so you have to take advantage of any spare time. Also, since athletes have a busy schedule, they're alert during class because they don't have the time to learn everything later. And like the authors said, in the end it just depends on the athlete and their sport.
