The Truth about Transitioning

It's a process that takes more than the summer training, first week, or two.. D1 doesn't care about what you did in high school, this is the real test. It's tough, no doubt about it, but even though I'm struggling and all, I still am so happy I chose my team and D1. It is these times that challenge our spirit, how do you react to the situation you've been given? It doesn't matter how fast you have ran, it matters that you can adapt to new training and the reality that you are in the back of the workout instead of leading it. Being in the back and pushing through without hanging your head is the real challenge. But as I've been told and am sure will be able to testify to later this season, it all gets better. So my advice, realize the caliber of D1, is it something you want? Something you'll be able to handle? You have to realize that you no longer are the star of the team, you have to build up again regardless of what you did in high school. It is mentally challenging and there have been some off days for sure, but each day it gets a little bit better, sometimes it only seems like the slightest bit, but patience is the key to success.

Believe in the run :)
