Time management.

I think this is a perfect time for me to reflect on time management..I say this because between softball, being injured, homework, scheduling for classes, and current classes I find myself a little stressed.
I once thought that I could handle the full schedule, but what do you do when your coach threatens to throw you off the team if you miss a game for lab? and when you talk to the higher official, they do nothing? What about if you have to get MRI's, or hospital checkups on a regular basis but can't schedule it any other time aside from your class? and if you want to make up that class but the only other time a scheduled class is, is during another class of yours?
It may seem easy to just quit, but when you have time invested...is it really so easy to just give it all up?
I've learned that communication is key through all of this, communication with my professors about how I can make things up, and how to receive credit where you can. You also have to be able to stand up to your coach and let him know that you are in fact a STUDENT-athlete, student first, athlete second, because sometimes a coach can forget that and as an individual/leader you have to be able to remind him of where your priorities are.

That's all I have for now, off to do homework. haha.
