Whether you’re an awesome runner, super swimmer, softball stud, volleyball star, or anything else, being a collegiate athlete is never easy, even during the summer. Here are a few thoughts we ALL have during vacation season:
1. THANK GOD, MOM’S COOKING!
2. Now I don’t have to cook my own meals.
3. And I don’t have to train as much!
4. But that means I should probably watch what I eat.
5. But ice cream…
6. Aaaannddd… my abs are gone.
7 I can literally feel my muscles disappearing.
8. I feel so soft!
9. Okay…maybe I should start training again…
10. Then I can eat whatever I want again!
11. I definitely used to be able to lift more than this.
12. I’m SO. TIRED.
13. So this is what sleeping in feels like…
14. At least I don’t have to study after practice!
15. Should I work out while I’m away from home on vacation?
16. No… it’s vacation!
17. But now I’m getting even more out of shape.
18. AND MY SUMMER BODY IS SLIPPING THROUGH MY FINGERS!!!
19. Uh-oh…Coach just posted on the team Facebook page.
20. I haven’t been training as much as I should.
21. I AM SOO OUT OF SHAPE!
22. OH, THE GUILT!
23. But I don’t want to get burnt out before the season even starts, right?
24. I’ll just work out super hard right before training starts, sure.
25. Then coach will never know I took a two month break!
26. Why is summer going by so fast?
27. Please don’t make me go back to the weight room.
28. Who am I kidding?
29. I don’t want to work out!
30. Well… first day back is going to be fun.
So good luck, athletes, and may the season go ever in your favor.
