The California Academy of Math and Science (CAMS) is gearing up for another exciting year on the basketball court. Coach Admin Admin is back at the helm after a year off and he is ready to lead his young team to success both on the court and in the classroom. With a focus on balancing academics and sports, Coach Admin is determined to help his players develop not only as athletes, but also as well-rounded individuals. When asked about the challenges of balancing academics and sports, Coach Admin acknowledged that it can be tough for many of his players. Some of them may have a natural athletic ability, but may struggle academically. On the other hand, some may excel in the classroom but find it difficult to keep up with the physical demands of sports. Coach Admin is well aware of these differences among his players and is committed to helping them find a balance that works for them. One of the ways Coach Admin helps his players balance academics and sports is by setting realistic expectations. He understands that his team may not be at the same level as others in terms of athleticism or experience, and he does not pressure them to compete beyond their capabilities. Instead, he focuses on helping them develop their skills and grow as a team. "We're not a Division 1 powerhouse team," says Coach Admin. "We don't have the height or the power, but we have heart and determination." This mindset puts the emphasis on hard work and effort rather than just natural talent. One player who embodies this attitude is the team's senior leader, who Coach Admin refers to as their "everything." With this player's all-around ability and dedication, Coach Admin understands the importance of keeping him healthy. He also recognizes the value in having a leader who can set an example for the team on and off the court. It's not just about physical health, though. Coach Admin also emphasizes the importance of mental health and encourages his players to take breaks and prioritize their studies when needed. He believes a well-rested and focused mind is better equipped to handle the demands of both academics and sports. Part of the challenge of balancing academics and sports is time management. As a coach, Admin understands that his players have busy schedules, with practices, games, and schoolwork. To help them stay organized and on top of their responsibilities, he encourages them to use planners and to communicate openly with their teachers about their schedule. But balancing academics and sports is not just about managing time, it's also about learning to prioritize. Coach Admin
