There were many times where I had to miss class due to overseas training camps and competitions but the school was really supportive. The staff would update me on what was happening in class and my lectureres would take the extra time to teach what I had missed out so that I wouldn't fall behind. With such great support, I was able to focus on my sport while maintaining a good academic record.
