While the life of a college athlete may seem glamorous, it's often far from it. You'll practice every day—sometimes multiple times a day. Yikes. We know you can dribble, but can you juggle, too?

On top of your responsibilities to the team, you gotta balance the academics. Life as a college athlete requires crazy discipline—monk-like yogi discipline.

Basketball season begins in November and continues through (surprise) March. That's five months of the year where you'll do nothing but live and breathe basketball. We're not even factoring in all of the offseason training and conditioning that's part of the gig.

Also, there's a little event that's known as March Madness that we hear is a pretty big deal. It takes focus to win these games, and not just beginner's luck. We have anxiety just watching, so we figure it takes nerves of steel to actually step out on the court for that Final Four game.
