Low Attendence

It seems like it is the time of year that club sports are showing a lack of motivatio and attendence. For the University of Colorado Swim Team we have seen a huge drop in these two fields. With over 100 people pay dues only an average of 20 poeple actually come to practice at the moment. The coach thinks it is because we are not a team but I feel that she is completely off base with that assumption.

The coach need to remember that we are students first and that most swimmers major priority is school then swimming. We are not division athletes who get paid to go to practice and swim. We pay to do what we love. So at the end of the day if we have a huge test to study for or practice to go to most of us will pick studying for that exam.

Also this is a rough time of the year for all students. We have mid-terms, term papers, projects, and jobs that take us away from practice. There is also sickness that goes around that we cannot prevent. So at the end of the day it is not that we are not a team or don't care it is the fact that we are students that have other things that we need to do as well. Yes we can try to balance everything better, but we do the best we can.
