Time management has been the biggest challenge. I study what I do on the field and off the field. Especially tough are group projects, trying to find a way to meet and get everything done and communicate with the people I’m working with. There are things I’m obligated to do, because they have obligations as well.

It’s finding that perfect spot between the two. It’s still early. I’m starting to get into the groove, pick up on what I need to do to formulate a schedule that works for me.

Pitre isn’t just any student-athlete though, he’s a first-year law student at Southern University Law Center. Pitre has scheduled all of his classes at night so that he’s better able to manage his football schedule on top of his law school schedule.
