College Athletics

I chose to attend Wartburg for many reasons.  It has a very nice campus with many new buildings, a great business program, and it's not too far from home.  Another reason I chose to go to Wartburg was to have the chance to play college athletics.  I wanted to play either basketball or baseball at the next level and Wartburg gave me the best chance to do that, so in the end I decided to continue my baseball career.  It was hard to pass up on basketball, but I knew I would be very busy playing two sports.  The basketball season would play into the baseball season, so I would miss the beginning of baseball.  I do plan on playing intermural basketball in the winter during my off season from baseball.  We started baseball this past Sunday for our fall league and will continue playing until the end of October.  It has been an overwhelming start so far in the first week.  My first practice was six hours long because I had to go the pitchers practice and the position player practice.  Now the practices are only 4 hours long for me which is still a lot for practice because it takes away my study time.  It's been hard to get used to, but we'll see how this fall goes to see if I want to continue playing baseball or just focus mainly on my academics.
