Gymnast Sarah Shire's Top 7 Things About Being a Mizzou Student-Athlete

Posted by We Are Mizzou On 1:53 PM

Now that I'll be a senior at Mizzou, I've come to realize that I really love this place and I'm going to miss many of the wonderful amenities available to me. Some of my favorite things include the following:

1. The Pride! These years as an athlete at Mizzou have been more than I could ever ask for and I'm truly honored to be called a TIGER!

2. Free protein bars and smoothies from the weight room. After a tough workout it's important that you get important nutrients back in your system. Here at Mizzou, these are always available in many different delicious flavors!

3. The Indoor Facility (Dan Devine). Just because it rains or snows, doesn’t mean the athletes stop training! It's great to have an indoor facility to keep us warm and dry!

4. The Mizzou Athletic Training Complex (MATC). This facility is amazing! With an athlete's busy schedule, it's wonderful to have our weight room, training room dining hall and computer lab all in the same building.

5. Free Tutors. College is truly different than anything I've ever experienced and classes can get pretty tricky. It's nice to know that there is always someone available to help me continue in my quest for academic success!

6. The Dining Hall. Not only is there a variety of food available for all types of athletes, but the good times everyone shares while eating are truly unforgettable!

7. Free tickets to all other athletic events on campus! It's great to get to see my friends that are athletes competing at their highest level!

GO TIGERS!
