SMART ATHLETES?!?!


Its a bad stigma but many athletes don't help to deter many from thinking that they are focused on being good students. However, there are a bunch that go unrecognized for actually caring about their education and pulling in the those good grades. Of nearly 400 FAU athletes 176 of them made a 3.o GPA or higher. Out of that 176 student-athletes only five made the Dean's List (achieved a 4.o or higher.) But, when you think about it, it almost seems like an amazing feet that these five student-athletes managed to obtain a Dean's List status, especially when you think of how demading the life of an student-athlete is.

Student-athletes have to deal with games/competitions, practice, weight training, travel and because of this many athletes are forced to miss classes which can cause many to fall behind, if they are not good with managing their time. However, others stay on top of their work by forming a strong relationship with their professors and fellow classmates so they stay caught-up with class work and maintain a good grade point average.
