It’s that time of year again– incoming freshmen are beginning to prepare for their first year of college. The excitement has set in and the shop for dorm supplies has already been completed. This experience freshmen are about to embark on is something completely new. Going into your first year is intimidating and can easily get the best of any college student; never mind a student athlete. So freshmen, here are some tips for your college prep and first few months away from home.
Head swimming & diving coach of La Salle University, Jamie Platt, said that “the best advice I can give to any incoming freshman is to be yourself. Don’t start off on the wrong foot by being someone you think they want you to be.†One of the worst things you could do is go into a new setting and act like someone you are not, just to make sure that people like you. Being who you are is the best way to be sure people enjoy who you are. Pretending to be someone else will give your team the wrong impression of your character, which is the last thing you want because these are the people you will be spending the next four years with.
Platt tells us that “swimming reveals character and reveals the true you.†It’s most important to be confident with who you are, this will help you manage the new experience well. “Be proud of who you are and what you have accomplished,†Platt explains. This will help you be the best student and the best athlete that you can be.
