For this week's Coach Steve column, a reader asks about her son, a college athlete, and a productive summer entering senior year.
Nick is in a good place. That summer before my senior year of college was one of the most memorable of my life. It was one that provided the perfect transition from my sports-playing days to, eventually, my career.
I used my summers to get work experience. I painted, mowed lawns and cleaned pools. On the side, and perhaps most importantly, I dabbled in something I thought I might enjoy. I began writing sports articles for community newspapers for minimal pay, or even just money to pay for fuel when I drove to events.
That summer before my senior year of college , I became an intern as a sportswriter at the Pensacola News Journal in Florida. Yes, I got work experiences but, just as significantly, I lived on my own outside the insular world of a college campus. I paid the rent, drove to work, learned my own shortcuts to get around town and even got a flat plugged into my parents’ Jeep.
