12/8/16 Project Focus

Today I decided what the focus of my article will be on. I am going to do a column called " A week in the life of a D1 athlete". I have a very good friend Nick Long who is a Division 1 baseball player at the University of Florida. After speaking with him about my idea, he agreed to allow me interview him and have an inside scoop to what its like to be a D1 college athlete. He is a freshman this year so I will have him explain how hard the change was from high school athlete to college athlete. I will focus on the intensity of the workouts, while also including a view at his whole schedule. In doing so, we will be able to assess the time management he must use in order to be successful. Nick is and always has been a very focused hard working athlete so I believe this will be a very interesting article. Nick verbally committed to the University of Florida the summer of his sophomore year so it will be exciting to hear if the life he has been eagerly waiting for is all he thought it was going to be. - Hope Bumgarner
