I'm currently a sophomore in high school and I have been contacted by quite a few college xc and track coaches, but I'm not sure if I can handle the commitment. I love running and would love to continue competing, but obviously the top priority in college is academics. I also want to go out of state where my parents won't be able to support me with general living necessities, so I will need a job to support myself. Playing a college sport is basically a job, so how am I going to handle studying, competing/practicing, and working all at the same time? Tell me what you all think, should I just go with a job and focus on school or should I attempt all 3 and possibly struggle in my classes?
