Vacations/Holidays
When parents and student-athletes choose to take their
family vacations during a sports season, it must be
understood that the time missed by the student-athlete
can affect team chemistry, personal conditioning, the
performance level of the individual and the overall
performance of the team. Each and every individual on
the team has a role, not just in the game, but in the
practice climate as well, regardless of how much playing
time the athlete is experiencing. Commitment during the
vacation periods involves self-sacrifice, not only on the
part of the athlete, but the family as well.
