data-contrast=\"auto\">Sara Dahlstr\u00f6m is a professional tennis player from Sweden, but she also competed in Division 1 tennis as a student-athlete for the University of Florida (Florida Gators) earlier in her career. During her college years, she learned the importance of balancing sports and academics and gained first-hand experience of the challenges that the <\/span><\/i><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">college recruiting process<\/span><\/i><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> can bring. Today, she shares her best tips to help other young athletes stay focused during this important period!\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When the final year of high school approaches, you know there are only a few months left before it\u2019s time for college. At that point, it\u2019s easy to lose focus, and that\u2019s something you need to work on maintaining. The future is rarely certain, and you can\u2019t rely on sports alone to take you exactly where you want to go. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to spend time and energy on performing well in school.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Often, college coaches in the U.S. prioritize your physical and athletic abilities over your academic performance. But in the end, coaches don\u2019t have much influence when it comes to accepting your college application. The application also includes your academic merits and grades, which must be accepted by the admissions office.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Of course, there are exceptions and shortcuts for athletes to still get into their chosen schools, but that doesn\u2019t change the fact that keeping focus in school is crucial. So how can you maintain your grades during the college recruiting process?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-600366e elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"600366e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Tip 1: Be in the Present <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3458670 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3458670\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Be where your feet are. With that expression, I want to emphasize the importance of being present. Where your feet are right now is what matters most at the moment. You can\u2019t undo the past, and you can\u2019t fast-forward into the future just because you want to get there faster.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s important to focus on the right things and not forget that you still need to do your best where you are right now. This applies both in sports and in school. It\u2019s easy to fall into the mindset that everything will work out simply because you have a plan. But the work still needs to be done from the time you start the <a href=\"https:\/\/keystonesports-cn.raketforskn.ing\/college-sports\/\">college sports<\/a> recruiting process until you graduate from college.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The competition doesn\u2019t get easier just because you\u2019ve secured a spot. Instead, you\u2019re expected to do what it takes to keep your place. Otherwise, someone else will take it, and you\u2019ll regret not putting in more effort. So, it\u2019s best to start early, so you\u2019re prepared for the coming years.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f92b124 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f92b124\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;slideInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/keystonesports.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gene-gallin-33fT56b1Pp8-unsplash-1024x683.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-72683\" alt=\"Basketball player tying his shoes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/keystonesports.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gene-gallin-33fT56b1Pp8-unsplash-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/keystonesports.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gene-gallin-33fT56b1Pp8-unsplash-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/keystonesports.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gene-gallin-33fT56b1Pp8-unsplash-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/keystonesports.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gene-gallin-33fT56b1Pp8-unsplash.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1464b1 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c1464b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Tip 2: Find the Balance Between Sports and School <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a4657a8 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a4657a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Learn to balance your athletics and academics.

But it\u2019s important to remember that you can\u2019t predict what\u2019s ahead. Worst case, you end up injured and wish you had taken school more seriously. Or maybe roster spots at your dream school start disappearing one by one because you didn\u2019t plan your sport and academics together.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With that said, you should remind yourself that academics and athletics go hand in hand in college. If you don\u2019t perform in school, you\u2019re not allowed to train or compete with the team. And if you don\u2019t put effort into your sport, you\u2019ll likely lose your place on the team and, therefore, your spot at the school.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The idea of being a student-athlete is to be able to pursue your sport while also getting an education. This gives you something to fall back on if, in the future, you don\u2019t want to or can\u2019t continue with sports. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to prioritize both areas and perform well in both.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Start early by trying to find a good balance between school and sports.
