Pack your bags because we are heading to spring break, spring athlete style. While traveling through the airport, we pass other college students headed to warm beaches for a week of partying in the sand while we are preparing for a week of games. Those students are about to spend a week of binge-drinking alongside palm trees while we are going to spend a week binge-drinking Gatorade alongside palm trees on the softball field. Traveling with more than 30 people is a trip in and of itself. Now making sure all of the equipment makes it on and off the plane is essential to saving yourself from being yelled at and running sprints. Spending spring break in Florida is not a free vacation for athletes. It requires hard work, determination and lots of naps. Here are some differences of a non-athlete spring break versus an athlete spring break.

Non-athletes: Wear bikinis and tanning oil.

Athletes: Wear uniforms and too much sunscreen.

Non-athletes: Go to tropical resorts.

Athletes: Go to spring training.

Non-athletes: Pass out on the beach.

Athletes: Pass out whenever there is time.

Non-athletes: Celebrate St. Patrick's Day

Athletes: Celebrate a day off.

Non-athletes: Funnel beers.

Athletes: Funnel softballs.

Non-athletes: Binge-drink alcohol.

Athletes: Binge-drink Gatorade.

Whether you are an athlete or a normal college student, hopefully, your spring break is spent somewhere warm!
