the official season.
Most sports have their season of competition
either in the fall (August-December) or spring
(
January-May) semester. Some sports such
as Basketball, Gymnastics, or Swimming and
Diving compete in (part of) both semesters.
TRAINING METHODS
Coaches are paid according to the success of
their teams which means they are on their
toes introducing advanced training sessions
for their athletes. You are not awarded a
scholarship to sit around and do nothing.
More important than current performance
is your own comfort with the coach. No matter
how successful a university may be, it will not work for
you if you and the coach do not get
along. A disagreement with the
coach is one of the main reasons
that athletes either transfer while
at college.
