<p>An alumni of my school that I played with plays D1 football at his college(athletic scholarship guy) and this winter he gained almost 20 pounds... He lost it by subbing alot of food they served for the "alternatives". No mac and cheese, only pasta with red sauce(Like 400 cal difference). I think that the food options are really tempting... Steak and Lobster day at Exeter would be the equivalent.
I've never really had weight problems... I stay around 175 for Lacrosse. I was up to like 185 when I was eating 3,000 calories a day for weight lifting. The thing about weight lifting is that when you are resting an extra 10 pounds of muscle will burn 2-4 pounds of fat in a month(the muscles will eat up the fat when you rest). I love fitness...(Or lack of)</p>
<p>Do you think they would get mad if I got up and worked out in the morning before class I'm so used to working out in the morning it would be kind of weird not to because most of the schools have athletics in the morning</p>
<p>Depends on the school... All the schools I have applied to have an "acceptable" wake up time and an "open gym/building" time. I hear that most kids(that are running fanatics) jog at 5AM at Exeter.</p>
<p>I'm sure most schools would be accomodating. Funny, I remain at a consistent 105 lbs until track season, when muscle ramps me up to 115.</p>
<p>I've actually been in off season track since august and I've gotten SO much stronger. I have like muscles</p>
<p>I guess i'm not as sporty as all of you guys :( I play sports for an hour a day (during the week) and I play a different sport each season (fall: field hockey, winter: fencing, spring: lacrosse) and I've never noticed a big weight gain/loss in different seasons. weird.</p>
<p>We are hardcore track-people, haha. We had several all-star runners in the recent past, and the coach hasn't let the dream die. We do 2-3 hour practices every day (for both volleyball and track), and meets are incredibly long, haha.</p>
<p>Saer, it's really cool that you switch between two such different sports. Track, more than most others, is an anaerobic sport (with the obvious exceptions of the 800, etc) while volleyball... Well, I don't quite know if there is a term that describes the pattern in which energy is used in volleyball. I lot of people I know would stay purely with sports that at least involve managing energy similarly, so I think it's really cool that you have the capacity to switch between two extremes and be skilled in both.</p>
<p>Think the schools will feel the same way?</p>
<p>Lol track is my biggest hope for a big scholarship to somewhere good or anything, but I'm a soccer guy around this season. In the south track is at the same time as soccer. I just sort of come to the big meets and the coaches still let me go to regionals if I'm lookin good.</p>
<p>Im a hardcore athlete and I don't go weighing myself all the time. I mean I eat more healthy around soccer season so I can feel light and faster. So I would say I drop 10lbs before every sports season.</p>
<p>Haha. Unless surfing the internet is a sport, my only sport is Fencing. I tend to faint when I run. :D I'm probably the least athletic out of everyone.</p>
<p>uhh, not true! i have no motor coordination whatsoever. like, if a soccer ball were to be kicked towards me.. hm. well, that'd be an interesting situation. my classmates know better ;)</p>
<p>haha, jk jk. i'm still pretty bad, though .. Fencing's a pretty unique sport! i dive (haha, obvious?) but not competitively, so i wonder if that even counts as an EC. i do track too (4x100..) & i got 3rd in district, but it's not all that competitive, haha. :P i'm relying solely on academics/arts! eek.</p>
<p>Yeah our coaches have really high expectations. our cross country was like crazy good and so is our track team so its not a place where you slack off</p>
<p>Ahh!!! That explains the whole Mrs. Tom Daley. :D It's not that I'm not good at sports, it's just really hard for me to do anything strenuous for extended periods of time. I think I may have hypoglycemia, but my parents think I'm overreacting. I'm also underweight. It'd be really cool to try lots of different sports though. Especially diving! We have a diving board, but the only thing I've proceeded to do on it was fall off. :( My sister says I lost my balance, but I know better: SHE PUSHED ME! :P</p>
<p>I love track and volleyball. I used to go to both varsity practices when my mom coached... It's a family legacy, of sorts. 3 of 4 aunts and my mother played volleyball, and ran track. Some of my favorite memories are sitting on the high jump mat watching my mom coach the boy's team. <3
I actually DO run the 3200 relay, and the 1600 relay, the 400 relay, and the 200m. I looove running, PLUS I love the triple jump. My record so far (8th grade, last year) was 27 feet 11 3/4 inches. Yay!</p>
<p>Volleyball just kicks butt. I love it. I've been in it 3 years, 6 seasons, both school and club. I basically play 10 out of 12 months, and I set like crazy. That's all I do, haha, and I wouldn't trade it for the world! Even though I AM only 5'2".</p>
<p>Im 5'2" too it's kind of funny though because I'm a hurdler and everyone else is like taller than me. I've been doing track for like five years</p>
<p>Track for two years, my third season starts in March. I've done cross country for two seasons, but had to quit for volleyball. <3</p>
<p>I cannot do cross country they run like 9 miles a day and I could not do that EVER I would die like three miles in. Distance is for crazy people I have no idea how people do it</p>
<p>I don't understand why anyone would run when no one is chasing them. :)</p>
<p>I run to feel good. You run 9 miles a day because it is an accomplishment- to win at something that "average" people don't even try to attempt. Runner's high is seriously the best natural feeling in the world. Plus, I DO have people chasing me. My coach, for one, with a freakin' pitchfork. On his bad days. ;)</p>
<p>Our track coach actually like chases the distance people on his bike he's like come on faster let's go. I would die in cross country I'm a sprinter</p>
