Basketball Woes

Being a college basketball player has a great deal of advantages. These programs generally have more money than many programs on campus. However, playing basketball at the collegiate level also does take it's toll on family relations. The average amount of time for Christmas break around 3-4 weeks for the majority of students and student-athletes combined. Unfortunately, members of a men's or women's basketball team generally have less than a week to spend with their families during the holiday season. There is nothing better than being with your family during this time of year. My heart goes out to the many men and women who are not blessed with this opportunity.
