The life of a student-athlete encompasses every possible challenge life can throw. Most students will tell you how stressful it is to manage work, school and social relationships. However, student-athletes have to split their time due to sporting commitments such as daily training, game days, meetings and travel days.
According to USA Today College, the NCAA has regulations that are intended to limit training to 20 hours per week. Very few student-athletes, however, report only practicing 20 hours per week. According to a 2011 NCAA survey, Division I football players averaged 43 hours per week.
