In this story I will highlight the memories and hardships that go along with being a college athlete at Purchase College. The different points I will try and highlight are the never-ending practices and juggling that with classes as well as some time for mental health. I will focus on the importance of a strong support group and how having strong friends and family play a pivotal role in being a successful student athlete. I will interview teammates some formally, some informally, asking them their two sense on certain topics that take place on and off the baseball field.
