It may be tempting to slack when you're not in season, but the off-season is an important time for college athletes to up their game. Davidson football star Alessandro Demoreno knows that and puts in work during his downtime. Alessandro's schedule may vary depending on the day, but this is his typical daily offseason grind:

Alessandro wakes up at Richardson Hall and heads to the Davidson Student Commons, the main campus dining hall.
9:00 AM
He eats breakfast at the commons. Meals include breakfast sandwiches and a scrambled egg station.
9:45 AM
His first class of the day is American Politics at Chambers, a building where many of his classes are held.
