The daily grind of a college athlete can be tough, but it's good for recruits to know what they're signing up for in the recruiting process. Here's a day in the life of former Maryland baseball player Sean Burke:
6:00-7:00 A.M. – This is when I would wake up and go immediately into the gym to get a workout in.
7:30 A.M. – After my workout, I would get some breakfast to kickstart the day.

8:00-9:00 A.M. – After waking up early to go to the gym, I would use this hour before class to take a nap to prepare my body for the rest of the day.
9:00-12:00 P.M. – During these hours, I would take my classes for the day.
12:30 P.M. – After class I always had lunch to get some more fuel before practices.
