Q: With all the games baseball play
during a season, you miss classes.
How do you stay "on top" of that?
A: Communicating with professors was
something I was initially uncomfortable
with. However, I realized that in order to
stay on top of everything in my classes I
had to communicate with my teachers on a
regular basis about when I will be missing
class and what topics I will miss.
Q: Are your grades better in high school
or college?
A: Surprisingly my grades have been better
in college compared to high school. I
learned proper study techniques from my
teammates and tutors throughout college to
help me get the best grades I can get.
Q: What overall advice would you pass
on to an incoming freshman baseball
player?
A: I would stress to every incoming
freshman that it is important to stay
confident in their ability. They got recruited
for a reason. They have the talent to be
there and they don't need to put any
unnecessary stress on themselves to
perform or impress. I would also advise
getting all the help possible each semester
from tutors and academic support systems
to maximize their chances of getting good
grades.
