balance athletic and academic life

I audit the “Rose Cafe: The Student-Athlete Ideal: Academics in the Ivy League”. When coach talked about his personal experience about how those athlete training, I remain myself when I got table tennis training in China. I practice 3 hours everyday after school, and then I hardly had another spare time to do what I want to do like playing computer games. I never stopped training because my parents force me to do so, and at the same time, I have to keep balance between training and study. It’s a tough time for me, but I got used of it. I am so fortune that I didn’t give up my study(because I found I am not talented to be a professional player), and fortune enough to go to Cornell Univerisity. Because of this personal experience, I really admire our athletes, because it’s super hard to balance it. Thanks to the this cafe talk, lets me know on our campus, there are a bunch of students doing the hardest training and studying hardest. Applaud for them!
