While your mind is usually always focused
on sports and school, it is nice to take a break every once in a while. Spring
break is a great time to do just exactly that and relax. Your family might book
a trip to Mexico or plan a stay at a lodge. Each family is different and even
if you are staying home, what more could you ask for? You get to sleep all day
and just hang out at home.
Don’t be upset if other people are going
to warm places out of the country or on the coast and you’re stuck at home. You
will get so much more done than them regarding school work and sports. Also,
you will catch up on a lot more sleep than them. Who cares about being tan
anyways if you are not getting enough sleep? It is always best to be grateful
for whatever you have and make the most of it. I’m sure other people are
staying home too and would love to find something to do.
Taking time off from sports is a great
idea because it will help you not burn out. Too much of a sport can start to
drag on and become extremely boring. Other people seem to never burn out and
always want to be playing the sport they love. If this truly is you as an
athlete, then don't be afraid to go to the gym and work on some things over
spring break. Some people like the break and others don't.
Some schools have practices over spring break,
which is very good to keep athletes going. However, I do not think missing
practice over spring break should affect playing time or be mandatory
practices. Most coaches are very good about this topic. Athletes can't always
help when their family plans a trip, and sometimes do not agree on the dates,
but what are you going to do?
Spring break is a time for student
athletes to forget their worries for a little while and just have fun, but
don't forget about any dreaded homework. If you get all your homework done on
one of the first days of spring break you will not be worrying the rest of the
week and will have no other responsibilities. Use your spring break wisely to
fit yourself. Everyone is different and it is okay to take a break every once
in awhile. That is why it's called spring break.
