As former DI student-athletes, we can confirm that time management is one of the most important skills that any student-athlete can possess. While every program is different, most follow similar schedules and those schedules are packed. You will have to juggle workouts, practices, travel days, tournaments, class schedule, tutoring, study hall, additional practice and free time.
We assist our student-athletes with tools to become better at time management – which will make you more appealing to a college coach. The ability to juggle an extremely strenuous schedule is something that will only make your life easier both on and off the golf course.
Here are some of our best time management tips for student-athletes:
- Prioritize class schedule and practices
- Use a planner or calendar
- Complete assignments early or on time
- Begin studying in advance
- Don’t take on too much
- Maintain a consistent sleep schedule
- Hold yourself accountable
- Eliminate distractions
- Make to do lists
- Schedule blocks throughout the day
- Set time limits to complete tasks
- Avoid procrastination
