To have the opportunity to study in the United States and at the same time represent your school in the sport you play is rare and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The benefits of college are many, the opportunities to develop yourself, athletically, academically, and socially are some of the greatest.

College offers many opportunities, but also great responsibility for student-athletes. You are expected to maintain a professional attitude both on the field and in the classroom while balancing training, competitions and studies. Schedules and demands vary by sport and season, but many find that the challenging balance enhances their college experience and academic progress.

Because college sports in the US are so prominent, schools are experienced in working with student athletes. As a student-athlete, you have an academic advisor help you with your schedule so that it fits as well as possible with your training schedule. The professors are also lenient that you sometimes need to be absent from classes when you are traveling for competitions.

The sporting conditions that the universities in the USA offer differ from school to school, depending on the school's resources, but in general the training and competition conditions at the school are of the highest class. You have everything you need around you to give yourself the best conditions to succeed. Experienced Coaches and physical trainers are there to help you get better, teammates are around you to compete and challenge you to get better and the school's physiotherapists are there in case you need treatment for an injury. This environment can be compared to that of a professional sports team, where you are surrounded by people who strive to help you grow both as an athlete and as an individual.

College sports in the United States have different seasons for different sports, either in the fall, spring, or both. Competing and representing the school with your team is one of the most memorable and fun experiences. It gives you the chance to make memories with your teammates and explore new places in the United States.
