What advice would you give to a first- or second-year prehealth student athlete? The biggest piece of advice I would give first or second year pre-health student athletes is to trust in your own pre-health path and to avoid getting discouraged when encountering obstacles. Juggling one's pre-health coursework with athletics, while extremely rewarding, is also very challenging. It is more than okay to encounter bumps along the way. I strongly believe that focusing on yourself, your own journey, and your own goals is key to being a pre-health student athlete at Princeton.
