We have a question for you: do you love memes? Memes same as these?
“Your doctor advises you to stop crushing your teeth.”
Quit Grinding? The Grind Never Stops. No Breaks. We Keep Pursuing Our Dreams.”
National Student Athlete Day is on April 6, so prepare to post these student athlete memes all over the internet. This day was created by the National Consortium for Athletics and Sports to honour student athletes who excel both on and off the field. Find an athlete who can do both, and then offer them a massive… bonus. hug? High-five? Whatever celebrations athletes engage in. Essentially, we’re requesting that you offer your student athletes some affection. Even if we occasionally make fun of them with memes, they never stop grinding.
NATIONAL STUDENT-ATHLETE DAY ACTIVITIES
Share one to three memes
We cannot be blamed for our obsession with student athlete memes (go back to the intro for an example of true meme artistry). On National Student Athlete Day, give your favourite memes new life by sharing them on social media and tagging your fellow student athletes. You may be softly making fun of them, but we are confident that they will take it in stride.
Go to a local game
We have drove past our local high school during football games so often that we have lost count. But we always persuade ourselves that the next time will be the charm. (And we obviously never do.) This holiday is the ideal occasion to cheer on your community’s greatest student athletes. Browse the calendar on the website of your alma mater for a comprehensive list of activities you can attend.
Provide the student-athlete in your life with new equipment.
Whether your favourite student athlete is in high school or college, they likely cannot afford the equipment they desire. Surprising them with a new pair of cleats or the lacrosse stick they’ve been coveting! It will demonstrate your appreciation for their efforts and your support for them.

WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF NATIONAL STUDENT-ATHLETE DAY?
It demonstrates diligence.
Take it from our uncoordinated selves: mastering a sport is extremely difficult. We’ve tripped over enough hurdles and hit enough foul balls to recognise that student athletes are incredibly talented. But, student-athletes strengthen their abilities via countless hours of practise. In addition to completing all of their schoolwork, student athletes manage to fit in what amounts to a part-time job. This character from High School Musical had enough trouble balancing two extracurriculars and a gal; we’re certain he wasn’t turning in his homework on time. Because they can accomplish anything, the student athletes in your life are truly remarkable. Ensure that you express your gratitude to them today.
It reminds us of the significance of education.
Think about it: how many school-related holidays do you know? It is tempting to view school as a burden and to label those who excel at it as “nerds.” Sometime in the past, it became cool to disregard schoolwork. Yet because student athletes are the coolest people we know, celebrating their academic success sends a strong message: education can be enjoyable, and performing well is even better.
It’s a stimulant
Student athletes have the same number of waking hours as you do. In this time, students practise their art for several hours per day, socialise with friends, complete their homework, and eat. Consider their example the next time you claim you are too busy to go to the gym or start a new pastime. These athletes are examples of genuine individuals who balance their passions and responsibilities, and there is no reason why you cannot do the same. Now, retrieve the basketball from the back of your closet and begin shooting baskets. Therefore, avoid playing with student athletes. They will defeat you so badly that it will be humiliating.
