How Keeping Up With The Kardashians Inspires Athlete Preseasons

How Keeping Up With The Kardashians Inspires Athlete Preseasons

Preseason has already started for some athletes, and it's just around the corner for the rest of us. With preseason comes double days, team bonding, cute action shots (not!), and everything else.

What better way to keep up with preseason than using the Kardashians to help demonstrate what many of us athletes go through, while other students are at home enjoying the rest of their summer break.

1. That moment when you are finally reunited with your teammates.


Because summer group messages just wasn't the same as being with them in-person.

2. Meeting the new freshmen.


You might not even know that they're on your team until you run into them at the first team meeting (sorry freshmen). P.S. We do care even though Khloe obviously doesn't.

3. Double Days.


Your days of sleeping-in are over, naps become your best friend, and one shower a day isn't enough anymore.

4. The Big Mistake.


That moment when the play that you messed up on comes up during filming, and your coach has a five minute lecture about it.

5. The Tough Loss.


We think about what we could've and should've done, but there's no better way to get over a loss than beating them the next time you meet.

6. The Action Shot.


That moment when you find out that your not-so-cute action shot is on the team's webpage. It's like the photographer loves picking the pictures that we look most awkward in so that our teammates have something to laugh about all season.

7. Your BFF's Time To Shine.


I feel like one of the best things about season is when you get to cheer on (or play alongside) your bff. She kicks the ball, you cheer. She drops a girl, you cheer. She breathes, you still cheer. Friendship goals on and off the field, duh.

8. New Positions.


Coach says: "It'll be fine." Coach really means: "Don't make a mistake or I'll sub you out."

9. Life In The Training Room


That moment when you get injured and it feels like you basically live in the training room (thanks trainers!)

So to my fellow athletes, good luck. May the weather be nice, may your double days fly by, and may your season be the most memorable yet.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
