<p>Pilot, your background looks great but what did you mean by "i didn't have it in me to take the punishment." That struck me as a (small) red flag because of the "punishment" you'll go through in BCT. Just something I picked up on and wanted to make sure you knew that going down the service academy road is likely to be very demanding physically.</p>
<p>Sorry for the conflicting message from that previous message. I could handle the physical abuse of the season but I couldn't manage an everyday practice and still do other things. Baseball is very important to me so when wrestling conflicted it, I decided I wouldn't want to do it. Anyways, powerlifting is something that I really enjoy. Sorry for the confusion.</p>
<p>If you can handle the physical part of wrestling, you can handle BCT. But if you can't manage having practice every day and still doing other things, you'll have a tough time here.</p>
<p>Bostonguy--What is your daily schedule like so that I could compare it to a high school one (if that's possible)?
Thanks</p>
<p>Well, it's hard to describe an average day, but I'll try...
Depending on if it's mandatory breakfast or not means how early I'll get up. Since I'm a freshman I call minutes for mandatory breakfast so that means getting up around 6, if not then 6:30-7. Go to breakfast, then start classes. Usually I get a couple periods off where I can either go back to my room or just go to the library and try to do homework, though I get distracted pretty easily. Then it's lunch, commandant's time (changes every day...between briefings, honor lessons, etc.), then back to class for a few hours. Come back after class and either have training (get beat for a couple hours) or go work out in the gym. After that I go to dinner and then for the next 2 or 3 hours do homework. If there's a paper due or GR the next morning, then it's a bit longer. Anyway that's probably a good general idea of my average weekday...as for Saturdays, I can pretty much sum it up in one word: SLEEP.</p>
<p>hey, smitty946 nor cal is way better than so cal. that's where i'm from. xc is definately a second family. i kinda prefer them to my first family. it's all about the distance team. build the stamina and endurance.</p>
<p>sorry my last reply was not supposed to be on this thread. kinda disregard what i said.</p>
<p>hey smity946 norcal is the best. that's where i am. distance is the best</p>
<p>i'm just gonna stop trying to reply.</p>
<p>haha didn't realize there were two pages. sorry.</p>
<p>hahahaha......ya they sure raise some smart kids up there in norcal..(cant figure out if there is two page).......hahahahah.....im just playin......but i definately agree.....there are very few sports that have such a tight knit relationship with your teammates, and i am positive football is one of them....i have also heard from many people that xc is amazing as well. xcrunner707, maybe you have heard of Oak Park High School. We are supposed to be like the top on the state or something like that in XC!!!!!</p>
<p>thanks bostonguy. Suprisingly, that sounds like my daily schedule (maybe not the 2-3 hrs. of daily homework part, though).</p>
<p>Sweet, you call minutes at home?</p>
<p>key word is like</p>
<p>either way, I would like to know if sports like golf would count less than sports like football in an application?</p>
<p>depends what kind of leadership you have on the team.</p>
<p>"If I was king for a day, I'd make it a requirement--waiverable only in rare exceptions"</p>
<p>Yikes... then as cool of a guy as you are, I am glad you are not king cause id be screwed (but youve already told me that last year)! I did take two years of tennis and did quite well in it. I also participated in summer tennis programs too and they were a bit more intense.</p>
<p>Oh well. Indeed sports are really important but alot of the lessons learned in sports are learned in many many other areas of the high school experience.</p>
