Question

SUGGESTION: Create a section for student athletes?

Answer 1

Or a section where people can discuss problems like time management?

Answer 2

That student athletes need (alot)

Answer 3

im an athlete myself :P time management i think would be in academic advice what would u plan on putting in the athlete section?

Answer 4

There is a section for academic advice?

Answer 5

If not, that is a better name for the section. Discuss college choices, time management, etc etc

Answer 6

there is a subject for that i would link it but its not loading

Answer 7

or especially for stress, and problems like anxiety. I'm sure a fairly good percentage of us go through problems like this. Sometimes, I think a few words of encouragement will help someone go through their day...

Answer 8

Ooh, link me to that when you can :)

Answer 9

Thats what chats are for :P and im trying

Answer 10

yeah, but I feel like chats are very overlooked and people are just fooling around xD

Answer 11

instead of a on point discussion

Answer 12

Eh deends what chat u go to ;) and acedemic advice wont load >:(

Answer 13

I completely agree! Being a student athlete that struggles with time management, this would be very helpful for me, and probably many others. The academic advice section is dead, nobody knows about it, but I think that if there were a specific section for this, it would be active.

Answer 14

I mean i like that idea b.c i play basketball but what will we talk about except like sports and basketball and it really kills the educational purpose of this site.

Answer 15

You wouldn't really be able to talk about the sport itself without spamming

Answer 16

^ True, like, "when's the next match!" :P

Answer 17

It would be all advice, something that actually has a purpose

Answer 18

i like this idea :)

Answer 19

acedemic advice is only for school not atheltics

Answer 20

i mean at least for me, stress is just as big of a problem as my homework/etc

Answer 21

i would think athletics ends up being part of academic advice..

Answer 22

^ Same

Answer 23

I'm just concerned about a possible spamming issue.

Answer 24

what kind of questions would you consider spam?

Answer 25

i think as long as it can ask for advice, something important, it's not really spam

Answer 26

personally, i think all relationship questions would not be allowed xD

Answer 27

I suggested a career section a few months ago.

Answer 28

Like some users would put random posts like, "how do i get to harvard!"

Answer 29

Well, I still like your idea.

Answer 30

Believe me, even in os feedback, some users post questions like that and "how do i get a A in a class". I've seen it several times.

Answer 31

yeah, I guess your right.

but i think questions like

"what should I major in?" vs "what should I wear to school tomorrow"

would be fairly easy to tell

Answer 32

True, good point. ^_^

Well I wouldn't ask questions that could end up being life-changing, those are better off with personal peers and family.

Answer 33

But many people are "new" to the college area and they need advice.

Answer 34

True, the majority of people using os are in middle and high school. However they go on with life and go to college and I don't see those users around that I've heard about.

Answer 35

In my highschool, we actually had to pick majors, from a list of around 20 ish choices. I certainly wouldn't have mind asking for opinions..

Answer 36

@EclipsedStar I agree with the life-changing problems...but I think it's alright to guide them to the "right" path.

Answer 37

Yes, but I wouldn't want to ask opinions from someone younger or the same age as me, I would consult an adult that has experience.

Answer 38

If someone asked "should I drop out..", well I think it's obvious what to say..

Answer 39

Btw, off topic, did they just obliterate the math section...?

Answer 40

No o.O

Answer 41

What do you mean by that? @dtan5457

Answer 42

I can't get to it on my subject list, and it's gone from my medal count..

Answer 43

You have to study that section for it to appear.

Answer 44

Lol, right, I got it back, thank you

Answer 45

No problem. :)

Answer 46

What an excellent idea! I think there are a lot of athletes here. :) Obviously tennis over here. :P

Answer 47

Gymnastics for life <3

Answer 48

I agree as well. Especially being involved with soccer, basketball, music playing, college, work and church services and plus on top of that work around home and plus your own life with friends and etc. This totally explains me.

Answer 49

Great suggesstion! :)

Answer 50

ty

Answer 51

I think this has been brought up before, but I don't think athletics and academia really mix that well

Answer 52

I mean, when you look at how much the music group is abused, you can only wonder what it would be like with an athletics group.

Answer 53

@poopsiedoodle That's so true. Music chat, always if not most times, is inappropriate and is usually turned into roleplay.
