I’m Anouk Balog, co-founder of this blog, a dedicated student-athlete, and a Chipotle food lover. Balancing the demands of competitive swimming and the full-IB Diploma, I’ve navigated the unique challenges faced by student-athletes.

I aim to highlight these struggles and advocate for a healthy balance between athletic and academic life!

I’m Iris Huang, a co-founder of this blog, a competitive swimmer, a victim of the full-IB program, and a girl who will do anything for a nap. With this blog, I plan to shed light on the various physical and mental struggles that student-athletes like us may experience.

My goal is to help others recognize their struggles, as well as find ways to juggle their priorities in a healthier and more sustainable way.
