\u201cPlayers Only\u201d is a special column written by Harding athletes. In this week\u2019s issue: Lady Bisons\u2019 sophomore guard Amanda Kearney tells us what it\u2019s like being an athlete that is involved with a Spring Sing show.<\/em><\/p>\n

What is it like being a college athlete involved in Spring Sing? It is tough, but well worth it.<\/p>\n

I am on the basketball team, and even though our season has ended, we still have off-season workouts. A typical day for me looks like: waking up, going to class, trying to find some time to cram in homework and study, head to basketball workouts, and then going straight to Spring Sing practice until 10 or 11 p.m.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong, it is a lot of fun. I thrive off of being busy. However, there are some times when I wake up, and I don\u2019t know how I am going to make it to the end of that day. I am doing Spring Sing with womens\u2019 social clubs Ju Go Ju, Ko Jo Kai, and men\u2019s social club Sub T-16. Our show is about a bunch of ants that are invading someone\u2019s house, then exterminators come and try to get rid of the ants, but they don\u2019t actually die. The ants come back to life and are stronger than before. Everyone involved in Spring Sing has really impressed me with their passion and work ethic. We have all been working very hard, kind of like ants do.<\/p>\n

It has been so encouraging seeing all the work that everyone has put into the show finally come together. I have said that I wanted to do Spring Sing at least one year in college, and I am really glad I chose this year.<\/p>\n

Although it is hard balancing everything, I have had the opportunity to talk to so many awesome people through the process. I am very excited to be a part of one of Harding\u2019s biggest weeks of the year. It is going to be special.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
