    Day in the Life of an Athlete

    For Devon, being a "Jimmy" at the University of Jamestown is a constant transition between the classroom and the field. A native of Texas, he balances a Business Management major with a Theater minor, believing that public speaking will give him an edge in his future career.

    His daily "grind" includes:

    • Morning: Engaging business and theater classes.
    • Midday: Alternating between weight training and choir practice, where he sings bass alongside his brother.
    • Afternoon: A rigorous two-hour football practice playing defense.
    • Evening: Dinner at the campus cafe, followed by homework and relaxation—usually playing Sonic All-Star Racers with his brother.

    It’s a packed schedule that blends athletics, academics, and the arts into one high-energy lifestyle.

     

    Hey, I'm Devon. I'm a business manager major at the University of Jamestown, also a student athlete. A typical day for me starts with my morning classes. My favorite class is my business management class. The professor makes the class engaging and keeps the topics really interesting.

    I also take theater classes for my minor. I think theater and public speaking will complement my business major. Depending on the day, I either head to the weight room for training or the room for choir practice. I sing bass and my brother sings tenor. We both came to UJ from Texas to play football. He plays offense; I play defense. Practice is usually from four to six most of the days. Balancing academics and athletics keeps me busy, but I enjoy the grind.

    After practice, I usually head to the campus cafe. Since I live on campus, it's the easiest spot to grab a meal and hang out with some friends. After my homework is done, I finally get some down time. I either work out or play video games with my friend. My brother and I's favorite video game is Sonic All-Star Racers, hands down.

    And that's the day of my life as a Jimmy, full of classes, training, and finding time to relax with my people.
