Reply to "Son headed to college for first year? What's he doing this summer?"

Hopefully Observer 44 will chime in here. My son had the good fortune to run into one of his sons on the practice field @ our local D2 college. It was great re-inforcement for my son to hear (from a current D1 college player) what an extensive work-out is required to get ready for next year. His son works out about 3 hours/day and had great advice on how to handle the academic workload too.

My son's routine is lifting/working out about 5 days/wk, playing in a Palomino (17-19 yr olds) league (about 2 games/week), running and throwing daily. He also has the good fortune to be able to work with the D2 coach nearby with an assortment of high school and college players. But, I still think the demands of juggling academics and playing a sport will require an amazing amount of discipline and time management next year.

He's also spending lots of time with friends that have been teammates for years. They are going to miss each other.
