My grandson is a high school pitcher and is going on to college as a pitcher. He wants to major in business administration….. I understand he must carry 9 hrs during the season. How does he even have time for that? …about 50 games , rain outs, travel, etc
9 hours is a pretty light load actually. My son was a BA major, thought fall was harder "time wise" than spring.....fall was 5 classes, fall ball, LOTS of conditioning. He had workout at 5:30, breakfast, mandatory study hall, classes, practice, often another workout. The only difference was no travel and free weekend nights in the fall. Spring he generally took 4 classes and it wasn't too bad....coaches will know which classes to avoid that are not athlete/travel friendly. Just be smart and don't load up with the hard classes all at once, spread them out as much as possible.
Serious? 9 hrs is too much? Funny. I thought they had to carry 12 hrs. 9 doesn't seem that bad to me. I'm sure he can sneak in a few cake electives during the season. The tougher biz classes don't typically come till ur junior year anyway.
Yeah, that's 3 classes. He should take 4, especially as a freshman and soph so he doesn't have to load up later when there are generally harder classes. Unless he wants to knock out some tough stuff in the summer
Is he going to a four year college to start with or is he going the JUCO route? If JUCO—without fail make sure he gets his AA degree there—that way he transfers to the four year college of choice transferring straight into his upper level classes and loses no JUCO class hours. If he doesn’t graduate from JUCO he will definitely lose credit hours when he does transfer.
Going to a 4 yr school. He loves baseball. ..played alll his life, a ton of travel ball and for one of the largest high schools and classes in Orlando. Good student in the class room with AP courses. I just don’t see where he will have any time for studies. Baseball seems to take more time than any other sport.
Good for him-the more basic classes he can get out of the way in an environment that he’s familiar with the better off he’ll be.
He had an interest in Chipola, but could never seem to find the time to get up there. I see Chipola has lots of diversity in their roster. They don’t seem to be dominating this year like in the past. Lots of the locals have caught up. Dorms are a big plus there.
Hey 74 ….. who is the best athlete to ever come out of Jackson county all time.? Any sport..I have an opinion.
Just my opinion but I would say Neil Anderson (RB) out of Graceville HS, Class of 1981 I think — UF 1982-1984
Yep. Charlie Pell recruited him I believe. The greatest team ever AtUF and maybe in all college.. Neel was all pro and a Bear. To think...tiny Graceville. Loved Charlie. Runner up might be Bobby Conrad, a Qb, at Marianna, that was from the mid 50s Went to fsu and was killed by a mailbox with head out window ... a base ball player too. Could throw a football 70 yd. Got to throw my team mate Doug Woodlief MHS Rams, in the mix too. Anderson was raising peanuts in Alachua last I heard....wouldn't you know.
Some courses have a lab attached that extends to a 4 hour course . Also he may have an online course.
Son played college and carried 15 hours. College and athletic department will help with practices set up at times so as to not impact classes.
