National Student-Athlete Day takes place on April 6 each year to recognize the remarkable achievements that student-athletes have achieved in their athletic activities.

Why National Student Athlete Day?

Abbreviated as NSAD, the day comes on April 6. The day is celebrated each year to celebrate student-athletes' achievements in balancing academics and sports. This day therefore provides an opportunity for schools, parents and students to come together to appreciate the incredible achievements of student-athletes in athletics.

This is a very special day for the students, the schools they represent, and the regions they go to. The student-athletes make everyone proud and excited to do it because athletics offers them an entrance into their career choices.

Take the United States, for example, where nearly 8 million student-athletes participate in active competitions both at the individual and group levels. Furthermore, research has shown that more than half a million of these students will pursue their sports career even after graduating from high school, college and even consider it a career. In addition to being successful in athletic programs such as track and field, basketball, baseball, volleyball, soccer and lacrosse among others, they are also successful in their academic lives.

Furthermore, NSAD serves to recognize student-athletes who have had a positive impact on the community from which to come, while maintaining and achieving desired GPA. Most student-athletes take on leadership roles in their communities and thus become role models for others. Still other student-athletes do well in the face of challenges and other forms of adversity, to provide an exemplary representation of their performance.

Therefore, NSAD Day motivates families, schools and entire communities, to bring them together to support their students who are also athletes. It fosters these groups to be the primary source of encouragement and goodwill for student-athletes both on and off the field to help them achieve their goals and aspirations in life.

History of National Student Athlete Day

The history of this day is traced back to the National Sports and Academic Association (NCAS). NCAS founded NSAD in 1937, in honor of high school and college athletes who have donated their blood and sweat to represent their school, and have done well in academic and physical life.

Reasons for National Student Athlete Day being loved

  • It shows dedication

Take it from our uncoordinated selves. It is very difficult to be good at a sport. We overcame enough obstacles and hit enough foul balls to realize just how talented the student athletes are. But for every talent that student athletes acquire, they reinforce it with hours of practice. Student athletes arrange time to be suitable with a part-time job in their schedule and still complete all of their homework. The guy from High School Musical had a hard time juggling two language learners and a girl, we're sure he didn't finish his job on time. That's why the student athletes in your life are so amazing they can do it all! How about making sure show how appreciated they are.

  • It is a reminder about the importance of school

Think how many holidays you know where you celebrate school? It can be easy to see school as a chore and stereotype those who are good at it as "nerds". Somewhere along the lines, it gets cool to not care about school. But student athletes are the best people we know, so celebrating good kids sends a powerful message: school can be fun, and doing well can be even better than.

  • It's a motivation

It is similar to the amount of time per day with student athletes and yourself. And in the meantime, they manage to practice their craft for a few hours a day, hang out with friends, do their homework, and go out to eat. Think of their example the next time you say you don't have time to go to the gym or take up a new hobby. These athletes are examples of people who really make time for their passions and obligations and there's no reason why you can't do the same. Now grab that basketball from the back of your closet and start shooting the hoop! But don't play with a student athlete. They will beat you badly, it will be very embarrassing.
