Petru Cojocaru \u201928 rises bright and early at 5:30 a.m. to head to tennis practice. He has to wrap up by 8:30 to make class. Rinse and repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This delicate balance of morning practices, days and evenings filled with class and studying, plus time for clubs and relaxation, is the life of a student athlete. ClarkU News asked a handful of Clarkies to share how athletics have helped strengthen their life skills, such as time management and accountability, and built a community of support and empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petru Cojocaru \u201928<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Major:<\/strong> Chemistry<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sport: <\/strong>Tennis<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Position:<\/strong> Sixth singles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout his time on the tennis team, Cojocaru has seen Clark athletes step up to support one another. \u201cYou\u2019re already in a community when you join,\u201d he says, \u201cyou engage with other teams, they come out to support you, and you go out to support them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cojocaru says his favorite part of being on the team is \u201cthe energy that you get from teammates, the intensity of the game, and just having fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To balance being a student athlete, time management is the key. \u201cIf I have to study for a test, I try to do it earlier rather than later,\u201d he says. \u201cThat\u2019s one of the biggest parts.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Tessa Pham \u201929<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Major:<\/strong> Chemistry<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sport<\/strong>: Soccer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Position:<\/strong> Midfielder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pham has been playing soccer since she was a toddler and continuing the sport in college was important for her. \u201cI\u2019m glad I was able to do that here at Clark,\u201d she says. \u201cI feel like I can\u2019t live without soccer.\u201d Her longest days are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with labs. Her daily practice consumes about three hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the fall semester, athletes arrive on campus early to start practicing, something Pham found beneficial as a first-year student.\u201cIt\u2019s really nice because you\u2019re coming in with a group of people you have a community base with through your sport.\u201d It helped her connect not just with her peers, but with other members of the community, too, like graduate students. \u201cIt\u2019s very helpful if you have questions. They gave me a support system before even starting classes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

Isabella Alcott \u201928<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Major:<\/strong> Physics<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sport: <\/strong>Volleyball <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Position: <\/strong>Outside hitter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alcott has established a routine to manage her coursework, sticking to morning or early-afternoon classes because the volleyball team often practices later in the evening. The team places a lot of value in time management. \u201cIf there is a big game coming up, we make sure that we get all of our schoolwork done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Alcott, the end of her first-year season was the most memorable, as the team hosted a NEWMAC (New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference) quarterfinal games. “That was a really big moment for us,\u201d she says. \u201cI had never seen the stands so packed for one of our games. It was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Aedan Derrick \u201926<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Major: <\/strong>Environmental science<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sport: <\/strong>Basketball<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Position:<\/strong> Forward<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Derrick has come to learn that everywhere is a classroom, both the lecture hall and the basketball court. \u201cIn both places you learn what\u2019s relevant to your ethics and the things that are going to stand the test of time,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Derrick, being on a team with students similar to him has been a stress relief. \u201cYou mature with those kinds of people around you, because you learn how to better take care of yourself,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an athlete, Derrick learned how to maintain a high self-standard. \u201cThe thing that you retain is an identity and ownership of that standard,\u201d he says, \u201cwhich improves your decision-making when it comes to temptations or distractions.”<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Abigail Venis \u201928<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Major:<\/strong> Psychology<\/a> and women\u2019s and gender<\/a> studies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sports: <\/strong>Softball and volleyball<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Position: Third base; middle blocker<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venis\u2019 key to maintaining a balance between academics, sports, and extracurriculars is good time management. She carves out time to study, and does homework with friends, \u201ca good way to socialize and get what your work done,\u201d she says. Venis created her class schedule strategically, \u201cso that I have fewer than two classes every day, managing time better, especially with practices in the middle of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When things get overwhelming, she has a community to fall back on. \u201cMy friends and coaches pick me up,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Emma Macintire \u201926<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Major:<\/strong> Psychology<\/a> with a concentration in the health sciences<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sport: <\/strong>Field hockey<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Position:<\/strong> Defender  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When things start to get overwhelming, Macintire thinks of her teammates for motivation. \u201cYou realize you\u2019re all in the same position \u2014 everybody has to wake up at the same time, get their work done, and you want to be as committed as your teammates,\u201d she says. \u201cThat builds trust within our team.\u201d Between practices and classes, Macintire participates in Clark clubs and works in the admissions office. She feels strongly about filling in \u201cgaps\u201d throughout the day to meet new people.  <\/p>\n<\/div>

Jenna\u00a0Beauchain\u00a0\u201926<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Major: <\/strong> Math<\/a> and data science<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sport:<\/strong> Field hockey<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Position:<\/strong> Defender  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beauchain has loved being involved in sports since she was 2 years old, so in college, \u201cI just wanted to continue playing and do what I love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her first year, \u201cI was so scared, and all the upperclassmen and my fellow teammates were so welcoming and kind.\u201d And the love of hockey outweighed all her stresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople have come and gone, but I met Emma Macintire from the team my first day and we are now best friends and have lived together for the past two years. You\u2019re going to meet your lifelong friends if you play on a team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a double major with daily practice, Beauchain is always on the run \u2014 8 a.m. lifts in the weight room; two or three classes per day; and 6-8 p.m. practices. \u201c<\/strong>Going to office hours, utilizing [access to] the professors, and spacing my time out was the best thing I could do,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Danny Goodman \u201928<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Major:<\/strong> Studio art<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sport:<\/strong> Baseball<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Position: <\/strong>Pitcher <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a student athlete helped Goodman develop the comfortability to come out of his shell. As an introverted person, connecting with his teammates before starting school was big for him. \u201cIt builds a really strong community with a lot of guys who want to make you better, a community that I look forward to all the time,\u201d he says. Organizing his schoolwork around practices helps him balance life \u2014 for Goodman the title of \u201cstudent\u201d always comes before \u201cathlete.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

Jack Insalaco\u00a0\u201927 \u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Major: <\/strong>Finance<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sport:<\/strong> Lacrosse <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Position: <\/strong>Long-stick midfielder\/defender <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insalaco\u2019s way of managing being a student-athlete is by making lists to plan things out, something that helped him stay organized when he missed a week of classes and practice because of the flu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Insalaco, academics are a priority, but classes have helped him improve as a lacrosse player as well. A favorite class is Marketing to You with Professor Lawrence Norman<\/a>, in which he gave numerous presentations to a large audience. \u201cBeing able to present to a big group of people makes me a better leader on the field now that I am an upperclassman and have to step up,\u201d he says.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insalaco believes being an athlete will be a lifelong asset. \u201cThe skills and the hard work you put into it are what you\u2019re going to have to do when you\u2019re in the workplace,\u201d he says. \u201cI may not like losing a game, but having to recover and do better the next day, I think, is going to help me in my professional life.\u201d  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
