Training and Studying

Is it possible to continue training at a high level while away at university? What did you all do?

This is a good question. At C4C, Gab Mark and Ian are still in school on the verge of completing their undergrads. (Gab still has a few more courses to take as the other 2). Andrew came back to international level paddling after completing his degree in 3 full years. The real challenge is to define your priorities and also commit to your goals. Often, national team athletes use school as a way to stay grounded to the world. Expanding your mind on other subjects than paddling is a great way to find balance in your life. Most of the athletes in Florida right now have between 2 to 4 courses in regular university programs. Yes it is possible and encouraged to study while paddling at a high level.
