Becoming Invaluable

When looking at the Becoming Invaluable slide show (the guidelines for Sport Studies Majors), I realized that it is a good bit of things that I have not done within the guidelines. I did notice that in any year freshman sophomore etc. academics is a major part of succeeding within this major. To be honest most of the things listed in the slide show I have never even seen or even thought. I feel that by looking at this guideline it will give me more of an idea of what I need to do and what I should focus on more while finishing up school.
