Expectations from International Student-Athletes

Eager to start classes and to meet new team mates are always the main focus for the international student-athletes. This process is important because, if their grades are down they will have to go back home with no education and if they don’t perform well on the field their scholarships will be deducted. In making their dreams come true, it is important to build a strong bond with other team mates and professors. Most institutions will assign personal advisers to help the student educational process easy knowing that Education comes first before sport.1 This does not really happen in some schools and that leads international student-athletes to finding out things the hard way.
For an International student-Athlete to keep their scholarship, knowing that they are lots of aspiring to being in the Olympics athletes are available, they must:

·         Remember that graduating within a four-year window is a priority, and that can only be fulfilled with taking at least 15 credit hours to graduate on time (summer not included).
·         Focusing mostly on making a certain GPA to be eligible to play and those who want to continue in Graduate schools must keep a certain GPA to apply.2
When given an assignment, some may find it hard to comprehend when another student sees it to be easy.  Even with trying to meet up with class times and grades, keeping up on the field is tough too. Their workout programs change from what they are used to and this may sometime affect their performance. Coaches who wish to recruit international students to their programs must know that when the students get to school their body might not give 100% as it should.

  1. I was haven herpes 2 on my private part. I have had them for about 2 and a bit years. I am so scared what my mates are going to says if there should fined out i have herpes on my private part and due to the virus my girlfriend broke up with me. I have been to the Doctors 9 times to get it treated. They all come back. I have been using Tee Tree Oil and Wartner (You freeze them at home) and they seem to be keeping the smaller herpes small but they can't seem to treat the larger ones. They don't get any bigger, but then they can't shrink as much. They get smaller a little part at a time. At least they are getting smaller! As soon as I see a new herpes appearing, then I treat it. At the moment I have been using Tee Tree twice a week and then using Wartner every 2 weeks. I was wondering if there was any other information about how to get rid of it. I am only a teenager and I hate it most when it get pi-chins me to scratch it, it get sweets when scratching it most times! I want to get rid of it so bad!
