And if your son has academic money as well as baseball money, he has to keep a 3.0 GPA. Sometimes he seems to spend more time calculating his grades than studying! (This GPA is for the whole year, but you don't want to get behind and play catch-up in the spring or next summer to keep your scholly)
We are amazed how tired he is. For him, high school was easy and college-level intro classes are not too hard, but he never held down a full-time job in high school.
When you add college baseball to classes, running, weekly mentor meetings for both baseball and engineering, laundry, strength/conditioning, running, finding food when practice went late and you missed your meal ticket food, mandatory study tables, did I say running?, girlfriend at home calling every night, bullpens, CSI (can't miss that), football games (GO HOGS!) and getting up at 4:45am on weights day (BEFORE 7:30am class MWF). No wonder he's so tired!
He can't wait to come home and sleep the Thanksgiving break away. I think the kid has earned some TLC!
