Finding Balance Between Sports and Studies
Linda Hatfield is joined by four Muskingum University student athletes, Kaylee Anstaett, Hunter Foley, Jill Laposky, and Toleo Malone. These students share how they found their balance between their sports and their studies, and what resources have helped them. Jill and Toleo both talk about how having conversation with coaches is where the balance begins. Kaylee discusses putting academics first and utilizing Muskingum's Study Center. Hunter explains how he utilizes a written planner as well as a digital planner. All students vary in age, and were recommended by coaches to represent Muskingum student athletes who have found the ideal balance.
