“Balancing my school life and my passion for playing football means that I must manage my time wisely. I make sure to set my priorities by creating a schedule for studying and training. In this way, I can focus and excel in both areas without stress. Staying organized and avoiding procrastination helps me keep up with all the academic tasks and football commitments. At the same time, I also take care of my physical and mental health by getting enough rest, enjoying time with my family and friends and eating well to stay energized for both school and games. Lastly, having support from my teachers, family, and coach, I believe that I can succeed in both academic and sports.”—Nate Zhyruss De Guzman
