Episode notes
Transitioning from high school to college is challenging for any student, but for student-athletes, the leap is even greater. Managing academics, athletics, and mental well-being requires discipline, structure, and executive function skills—but many athletes don’t realize just how important these skills are until they struggle.
In this episode, we sit down with Grant Green, a University of Tampa lacrosse player, to talk about what it really takes to succeed as a student-athlete.
Grant shares his journey as an All-State high school lacrosse player who moved across the country from Colorado to Florida, the mental and academic hurdles he faced, and the strategies that helped him stay ahead. From embracing structure and using campus resources to learning how to prioritize tasks and avoid burnout, he breaks down the mindset shifts that made the biggest difference.
If you’re a high school athlete preparing for college, a current student-athlete looking to improve balance, or a coach/parent supporting young athletes, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
Hit play now and start setting yourself up for success—both on and off the field!
