External factors & timing that can affect us: schoolwork & exam timing
Other schools deal with this too BUT some (like Duke for example) are DONE with exams. Our ladies who are outstanding student athletes have their 2 postseason tournaments sandwiched around exams.
Tomorrow exams start & the go thru Wednesday. Regionals start next Friday
I’m trying to be level headed (lol right?) about how difficult this must be mentally for them.
IMO NOT ideal timing the way our school calendar falls w/this sport’s postseason
I hope they can use their time on the field to take their minds off the stress of finals BUT this can’t be easy
