"Student-Athlete: The Gift and the Curse of Taking on Such a Journey" is a telling tale and a story about how a young man whom some may consider a "late bloomer"- discovers his athletic talent that earns him a scholarship to attend one of the best sporting programs in his country. He soon realizes that things aren't always what they seem to be, and that choosing this life may have been a blessing and a curse for him. He is now left to deal with the harsh realities of the journey that comes with the everyday struggles of navigating life as a student-athlete, the best way that he possibly can. The combined pressure of balancing his pursuit for higher education while also fulfilling his life-long dream of turning pro as an athlete, is the factor that either makes or 'breaks' him. *Image: Freepik.com This cover of the book was designed using assets from Freepik.com
