I find that when I have an extremely busy week ahead of me, what helps me the most is to plan out my work schedule. I think that kids my age often times do not have the ability to prioritize, and end up wasting valuable time doing pointless and useless things. It is also very difficult for athletes to manage time efficiently; as a tennis player, I do schoolwork around practices and tournaments. Time management is a huge part of the real world, and I think that kids should start practicing now before it matters.
I also think that high school coaches should be more lenient with practices. My tennis team has not lost a match in over two years, yet we still have an afternoon practice every single day. In addition to weekday practices, we often have to wake up early on saturday mornings to practice. Coaches should take students lives into consideration and work with them and their schedules.
