PHOENIX, Arizona, March 11. IN one of the deeper blog posts this week, Kast-A-Way Blog blogs about how swimmers and divers at the NCAA level can prepare for the transition from student-athlete to postgrad.
Here is an excerpt from the blog:
The end of the road is approaching for most senior NCAA swimmers and divers. Your final season, your final conference meet, or even your final national championships. There are very few opportunities to swim professionally, so live it up and have a great rest-of-your-life… right?
Well the transition from college sports to the "real world" will be hard for this year's graduating class, not only because of the state of the job market, but because of a crucial shift in personal identity. Graduation will not only signify the conclusion of a chapter in this class' academic life, but possibly the culmination of their entire career as an athlete.
The Kast-A-Way Blog was created by Kast-A-Way Swimwear as a promotional tool for the company. However, Kast-A-Way's customer service rep Eric, who is the driving force behind the blog, has been pretty balanced in the presentation and delivery of content.
