How am I going to reconcile sport and higher education ?
In American universities, every effort is made to ensure that athletes succeed both academically and athletically. In fact, school schedules are arranged so that athletes can train every day with one day off during the week.
In addition, there are tutors, in charge of several athletes, there to help them in their daily work or in case of difficulties.
What is the NCAA ?
The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) is the main university sports federation in the United States. It governs collegiate athletics among the nation’s top universities and determines the eligibility of athletes to compete in the United States and therefore to receive a college athletic scholarship. The NCAA is also responsible for verifying that athletes have amateur status. The current NCAA registration fee is $150.
