The commitment level of a student athlete is demanding. The commitment to school is a main priority because failure to do this results in academic ineligibility, monitored by the NCAA.

Teams require time and energy. The amount of time spent with your team requires dedication and commitment. Outside of practices, athletes have a commitment to follow team rules and show up to mandatory meals, film sessions, and recovery time in the training room.

Away games take commitment because athletes are traveling around the country. They are required to spend the night with teammates, eat meals together, and have mandatory bed times. All of this is monitored through team captains and coaches.
