Not Enough Time in a Student Athlete's Day | Paul Baynes | TEDxYouth@ParkCity

[@brucedavidson7601]

Couldn't agree more, as a student athletes it is a constant struggle for time.

[@dustindedace1031]

yeah we struggle a lot and tell our teachers about this but we can't stop our sports. why? first of all this is our passion, this is what uhm somehow takes our stress off. second it is a way to a better life than knowing what algebra is, yes it is helpful(for some people). I have a question. teachers can not teach all subjects, so how or why do we need to learn all subjects? it could be like this in 1 week we could have math on monday, language on tuesday, history on wednesday so on and so fort... We just want to balance things without getting fully stressed.

I'm a University student, I'd say high school was easy compared 😅 I have lectures and after I have at least 30 pages to read, 10-30 questions to answer per day, and often lab reports and presentations to write. I work 18 hours in the weekend to pay for food and an apartment. And the evenings goes to swimming and volleyball practice. I sometimes have to drop workouts to catch up with the school work. It's brutal. I've had an average of 11 hour schoolday including lectures, but the worst experience was writing for 27 hours (no breaks) and handing in my thesis 20 minutes before the deadline. Homework in high school prepares you for further education :)

Hope you graduated man😅

I think physical education I.e excercise, sports, health and being outdoors needs to be implemented way more into school curriculums . Everybody loves recess! Human beings love to play, run, climb, jump etc, it's our natural way of being and shouldn't be taken away from us . Moving around, being active, playing sports, strengthens and excercises both body and mind. It keeps us happy, energised, vibrant and healthy ! Every child should be brought up active and athletic as much as they can so they are strong, fit, healthy and sharp - ready for the real world 🌎💪🏽

To be an athlete requires massive sacrifice.

Most Ted Talks have a positive outlook or some kind of approach to a problem rather than simply state the issue.

[@liambokser]

I was with bro until he said NINE AND HALF HOURS OF SLEEP!?! I came here from not having enough time in the day with under six hours sleep. Real life is gonna hit this dude HARD. Since this is 8 years old it probably already has.

[@YouDontKnowMe-b8j]

I understand brother

[@km6731]

I disagree. As a former student athlete, i had plenty of time. In college i decided i would work from 7am to 10pm monday through thursday and friday and sunday night were optional and saturday was game day or my day. What it comes down to is distractions. 4 hours of homework every night is the exception and shouldn't be the norm. Turn on the focus button and shut down facebook, youtube, and your phone, and lock yourself in a quiet room. Open your assignment and go to town. Don't wait until the last minute to do everything. Do the easy stuff first and do the thing that will take the longest last so you can keep your focus on that and not all the other little things you still have to do.

[@ameliagraham55]

Not everyone can manage their time like you

[@dustindedace1031]

i am gonna say that... we have different time, we have 8 hours of school. starts at 7 am. homeworks? yeah we do it without distractions, but why does it take long time? lets say, 1 subject have 2 homeworks, then we i have to do some house chores. and this is everyday. this is just for me, we cant handle things the same

[@michaelorrett1737]

Good job bro, proud of you!

[@kni9ne600]

Bro, you chose to play football so stop complaining. Make time. 6:45-7:00 get ready 7:00-2:00 school 2:00-2:30 chill 2:30-4:30 football 4:30-5:00 chill 5:00-7:00 Hw 7:00-7:30 dinner 7:30-8:30 Football practice 8:30-10:30 Hw This way you get more than 8 hrs of sleep which is plenty for a high schooler Get all your football done in more reasonable time. AND YOU GET 1 HOUR TO CHILL. Pretty good if you ask me bro. Just split up what you do and you can be much more efficient.
