Much like those outside of Athletics, student-athletes tend to feel pulled in a multitude of directions: dedication towards their sport or hobby, obligations in the classroom and to learning, devotion to teammates, friends and family, and if time allows, a moment to balance daily requirements with personal self-care. I continue to be keenly aware of the stress and strain student-athletes often experience when trying to strike that balance. It is for this reason that highlighting the student-athletes of the month comes with no reservation. It is ok to pace yourselves and to push yourselves as long as you keep your goal in view.
The LSU Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes (CCACSA) recognizes student-athletes for their scholastic and community achievements each month. Student-athletes are chosen based on their commitment to academic success and for their devotion to volunteerism and service to the community.
