This week's Student Athlete of the Week is Cam Fallon, a senior golfer and basketball player at Parkersburg South high school.
Cam believes being a student-athlete means both are connected, stating that success in the classroom leads to success on the field and court.
“You know first thing about being a student athlete is obviously student and getting your work done,”
“Just getting it done in the classroom and that’ll lead on to the course and the court and just goes on from there.”
Cam credits his father and coach for helping him balance his workload and prioritize his responsibilities, noting that his father's understanding of his commitments is helpful.
Cam's father, also his coach, recognizes that golf is his main sport and allows him to allocate his time accordingly.
