A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A MUSTANG ATHLETE

DEVIN DIEDRICH, 2012 Spring Semester

• 8:30 am - Alarm goes off, telling me it is time to start another week

and head to my first class. Eat some breakfast, throw on

some sweats, and get ready for the day.

• 9:00 am - I arrive on campus and head to Java City to get my

morning coffee, medium Mocha without whipped

cream. I will need this to get through my day!

• 9:30 am - My first and favorite class of the day, Physiological

Anatomy with Sandy Craner. The body is so interesting to

me!

• 10:30 am - Start of class number two for me, Adapted Physical

Education Applications. My mornings are very busy!

• 11:30 am - Off to my THIRD class of the morning with my Coach,

Terry Culhane. This was another one of my favorites,

Coaching and Officiating Volleyball, because I got to

learn more techniques and methods behind the game I

love.

• 12:30 pm - Grab a quick bite to eat and then off to one of my

favorite things of the day, Weight Lifting. Lifting weights

is a great way to get my mind off the stressors throughout

the morning.

• 1:30 pm - Back in class yet again, with Coach Buchholz, finally,

my last one of the day.

• 2:20 pm - Happy to be done with my busy morning and afternoon

but the day is not done. I head to our Student Center to

grab a quick snack, which was usually Hummus, and go

hang out in our Volleyball locker room waiting for one of

our spring practices to begin.

• 3:00 pm - Time to get dressed and ready for practice and get my

mind ready to get better at Volleyball!

• 6:00 pm - Finally, on my way home from a busy day at school and

practice! Trying to decide what I should have for dinner,

I am usually pretty hungry at this time.

• 7:00 pm - Feeling full from dinner and it is time to work on some

Physiological Anatomy.

• 9:00 pm - Done with studying for the night, my brain is exhausted,

time to jump in bed and turn on some ESPN to see if

anything exciting happened today.

• 10:30 pm - Time to catch some Zzz’s before another long day starts

again tomorrow. Couldn’t be happier with the blessed

day I have had and hope to have another great one

tomorrow.
