You didn't know your professor, and your professor didn't know you. When I walk across the campus and see one of my students, I know that student by name. I think that is a much more human environment. Although participation in intercollegiate athletics represents a major commitment on the part of students, Beckett firmly believes that Wooster athletes are actually at an advantage when it comes to developing their time management skills. Coaches help instill a strong sense of time management that not only helps student-athletes excel both in the classroom and athletic arena, but also carries over to many other facets of their lives.
Time is a precious commodity.
Athletes have to learn how to juggle their schedules without losing sight of their priorities, and I think Wooster's coaches provide excellent guidance in this area.
