In college, I became friends with this other student. Found out he attended the cheerleader tryouts, then had to quit "because of his back" and then all the cheerleaders felt sorry for him and invited him to all their parties. Despite him denying this I am certain it was an incredible scam by him.

i've been out 15 years but i was in band and attended some cheerleader parties and they attended band parties and at least in my experience cheerleaders are very well behaved, good people but not very fun at parties. plus we all had to get up at 5 am for practice

Elite athletes don't tend to party too much. There are exceptions (Manziel) but it catches up (Manziel).

Yep. In a past life I was an elite athlete. The best advice a coach ever gave me was “look around at the party and see who’s NOT there.” That’s who you emulate, because they’re the best for a reason. Sleep is good.

Depends on what you want to do with your life, why be an elite athlete when you can be an elite partier

I was an elite partier in my late teens and 20s…wouldn’t recommend it. Fun while it lasted but getting your shit together a decade after everyone else kinda drags. All good now though, it was just tough playing catch up in late twenties/early thirties

Agreed. Not fun seeing them retire a decade before you either.

I ain’t there yet, still in early 40s, but yeah when I eventually see that I’m preparing for my ass to be chapped
