Baylor Athletics houses more than 17 men’s and women’s official sports. Students athletes often have a unique college experience because they have a full-time job on top of their regular college academic schedule.

Visalia, Calif., junior Hannah Fluegel, volleyball setter, said she balances life as a student athlete by staying on top of her schedule.

Fluegel said on a normal day, she wakes up at 5:30 a.m. and then goes to practice at 7 a.m. during off-season.

“After practice I have just enough time to go home and shower and study for little bit before my classes.
