Laker Privileges

As a coach I often hear about the privileges athletes receive. I’m the first to agree that our softball players here at Lake Land College are entitled to certain privileges, which we constantly remind them to take advantage of. Below is a list of just some of those privileges our Lake Land softball players receive. They get the privilege to attend class every day on time. They get the privilege to sit in the front row, ask one intelligent question, and participate in class discussion each day. They get the privilege to turn their homework in complete and on time. They get the privilege to know on a close basis a nationally recognized faculty and administration. They get the privilege to get help from great tutors when needed. They get the privilege of attending softball study table 3 hours per night Monday through Thursday. They get the privilege of 1 to 2 hours of bus and 2 hours of hotel study tables for away and overnight softball games. They get the privilege to attend 2 to 3 hours of daily softball practice 6 days a week. They get the privilege of a 1 hour daily work out 6 days a week in the Lake Land College fitness center. They get the privilege to be held at a higher social and moral standard than the rest of the student body. They get the privilege to be a member of a nationally competitive softball team who for the third straight year in a row received the recognition as a NJCAA All American team. These are just some of the privileges that our Lake Land College Softball Athletes receive when they put on the Lakers uniform. So when people talk to me about the privileged athlete, I say “you bet”. Our softball players are proud of their school and the honor and privilege to serve at the pleasure of the students, faculty, staff, administration and board of trustees of Lake Land College. Always play to win, Coach Nelson
