I talked with Texas State sophomore linebacker Stephen Smith who is originally from Missouri City, Texas.
Smith touched on questions that most people wonder about, like how student athletes manage their schedule when juggling both practice and classes.
He shared his tips on how to be successful both on-and-off the field.

Smith explained how he stays healthy and what he does outside football that contributes to his success on the field.
SS: I try to eat right, stay hydrated and work hard everyday at practice.
