The importance of athletics

Its been almost a year since the last time i put on football pads and i know crew is no where near as thrilling as a football game but getting 5th place out of 22 teams and medals was a pretty cool experience especially because a few of the teams in our division were on scholarship to do what we do.  Also since joining the crew team im amazed at how much more school work i actually get done.  I give two hours of my day to crew and regattas on the weekend and somehow im more productive now.  Its funny how having commitments in your life really puts you in the right mindset, think about it.
