Josh Wroblewski is a junior at the University of Connecticut and a member of the UConn swimming & diving team. Like most Division I athletes, his day starts early, and ends late, with morning workouts, afternoon workouts, tests, studying, eating, recovering, and trying to get enough sleep to keep up with it all.
Wroblewski’s experience is typical of an in-season Division I athlete, including the pain of “no eyebrows” from pools with too much chlorine.
UConn’s men are 1-0 on the season after a win over Southern Connecticut State earlier this month. They’ll race their 2nd intercollegiate dual on November 2nd when they welcome the Army Black Knights in to the Wolff-Zackin Natatorium.
This is a fun article and perspective but all swimmers regardless of the “division” put the same time, effort, dedication and sacrifice to being a collegiate athlete. DII and DIII don’t have it any easier. They lose eye brows, begin and end days with workouts and cram/study for exams just like DI athletes. To imply DI athletes have it tougher than other is inaccurate.
Why is it that on this site you can’t even say “Division I” or “Division II” or “Division III” in absolutely any context without someone from the other Divisions roaring in and taking it as an offense?
Sometimes a river is just a river y’all. Your little D2 and D3 princes and princess can still be your special little children.
Why aren’t coaches bothered by swimmers losing their eyebrows???!!!! Is the excessive chlorine affecting more than just causing a loss of eyebrows? Can’t it harm athletes in other ways? Why don’t coaches work with maintenance staff at university pools work to improve the chlorine condition?
HIII COACH JOSH
This is a great video, please keep the content coming
Great video. Are they training in a 5 lane pool?
What a great dude!
I have a hypothetical,
Would he be banned by ncaa if he had ads turned on in the video?
For example, if he got millions of views, therefore, earning a substantial amount of money from ads.
If he did have ads on the video but the video got low views and he didn’t earn anything, would he be breaking any ncaa rules?
It’s happened before with more than 1 ncaa athlete, and on content unrelated to sports as well
Joshi blowin up jus wait
What. A. Great. Kid.
Proud of you brother.
