Being a good student takes dedication and hard work, and being a good athlete is equally difficult. But to be successful in both athletics and academics, one must be a master of time management.<\/p>\n

Nearly 70 Brock University student-athletes were named to the 2016-17 Academic All-Canadians list for finishing the year with an average of 80 per cent or higher. On Monday, March 19, they were honoured at a Brock Sports award banquet at Pond Inlet.<\/p>\n

For fifth-year women\u2019s wrestling team member Indira Moores, the balance is easier when you enjoy what you do.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m pretty fortunate in that I like doing both \u2014 training and competing, along with studying,\u201d said Moores, a Physical Education student who is minoring in Woman and Gender studies.<\/p>\n

Moores said there have been many times when she has found herself in a hotel room somewhere across Canada working on homework or studying for an exam.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s just normal,\u201d said the 23-year-old Sudbury woman.<\/p>\n

Moores was one of 32 students in the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences (FAHS), and one of 68 overall to make the Academic All-Canadians list.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing an athlete focuses your attention. You know you have 30 minutes to get an assignment done, so there\u2019s a lot less procrastination and a better ability to manage your time,\u201d said FAHS Dean Peter Tiidus, himself a former varsity swimmer.<\/p>\n

He said student-athletes typically become well-rounded graduates.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt helps you later in life to be able to handle the stresses of multi-tasking and multiple responsibilities and it creates a person who is more resilient in many ways,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Brock Sports Director Neil Lumsden said it\u2019s important to recognize the work student-athletes put in.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they achieve this level academically, it\u2019s really impressive and it\u2019s a great thing for the University to tell people that these aren\u2019t just jocks coming to school. They\u2019re motivated, highly-respected in the University and they\u2019re just that cut-above.\u201d<\/p>\n
