“Stay patient, be positive and your time will come”

Becoming a college athlete is, in itself, a very exciting accomplishment. However, some of the excitement fades away when you don't get the you were hoping for. 

To help you get over this challenge, LRT sports put together 3 to get off the bench and earn your sought-after playing time.

  1. Remember what mistakes you've made and seek to overcome them
  2. Be eager to learn and during training: there's always more to learn
  3. Stay persistent on growing your skills and yourself as a player 

Following these steps will help improve you as an athlete, but will also show commitment and initiative to your coaches. They see these as characteristics of a good team player, and will appreciate you for taking these actions.

Good luck, and don't forget why you play the sport in the first place!
