    Hi there

    Looking for advice as we will have junior cert next year and my daughter is currently very involved at a high level in sport where she trains 3 times a week. Training involves travel so could be gone 3 hours Monday Wednesday and Saturday. Just wondering is it possible to balance the two as obviously want to ensure she does not feel too much pressure yet she would like to keep up her sporting endeavours and trying to seek advice from anyone that may have experienced something similar.

    Thanks

    She'll be fine. If she listens properly in class, doesn't miss days, does her homework as if every piece is an exam question and ALWAYS asks the teacher to explain if she doesn't undertand something, she'll be fine. The sports can only be a plus in terms of confidence, oxygenation etc..

    Win win, so to speak.

    I am doing my Junior cert this year. I train 6 days a week, 2 hours a night Monday-Thursday and up to four hours Saturday and Sunday. I can honestly say it hasn't effected my Junior cert at all. I am hoping for 8/9 A's this year and I got 8 A's in my mocks. I don't think it will make a difference to her.
