We as Americans love the spirit of competition.
From childhood, we were taught to excel and be the best in everything we set our mind to. Whether it was reading, consistently making the honor roll, getting our driverās license on the first try or playing sports, our parents always pushed us in hope that we didnāt settle for less than our best. What is the purpose of competition when there is no one to challenge you?
Some of the best competitive rivalries of all-time include Batman vs. Joker, Superman vs. Kryptonite, Lakers vs. Celtics and Alabama vs. Auburn. Rivalries are so important because it brings the true competitor out of a player and the best qualities out of a person.
For college football, there are six major conferences: Southeastern, Big Ten, Big-12, Pac-12, Big East and ACC. Though the SEC has dominated on the gridiron winning the last seven national titles (nine in all), there is more to excel in at the collegiate level than just on the field.
The word āstudent athleteā does not need an elaborate definition. It simply states that in order for an individual to be triumphant on the field, they must conquer the classroom first. In high school, parents were our enablers. Each day, they encouraged us to tune out all external distractions and focus on one goal that being to walk down the aisle and graduate with a high school diploma.
The difference between high school and college is simple; in high school your parents motivated you, but in college you must motivate yourself. The life of a college student seems glamorous to a person who is not there yet, but in all honesty college takes a lot out of students. College students deal with many decisions on a daily basis.
From pondering do I wake up for class and eat to preparing for a test, college students understand that just like their parents were excited for them to graduate high school, there is nothing better to graduate once again and this time on the big screen.
