Eat. Sleep. Play. Repeat. This is the sequence of events often used to describe the average day in the life of a student athlete. Then, on top of all of this, there is homework, and any other demands or challenges the day might bring along. These athletes all end up on the same intense schedule, and it is one that leads them to success. They all share a common goal, along with the motivation and drive to achieve it. No wonder there always seems to be a special sort of bond between the members of a team. They are linked together with passion. This type of bond is hard to understand from the outside looking in. These members become more than just teammates. They become a family.
