Georgia Southern student-athletes honored for work in the classroom
Each month, the Georgia Southern Student-Athlete Services Department hands out its Student-Athlete of the Month, presented by Georgia Army National Guard, which recognizes students who are working just as hard in the classroom as they are on the field of competition. The female winner for the month of June is Alberte Thuesen of the golf team. Let's get to know Alberte!
Name: Alberte Thuesen
Hometown: Farum (Denmark)
Sport: Women's Golf
Major: International Trade
What is the best way for you to balance your academic and athletic lifestyle?
First of all, I write everything down in my calendar … And then I try to work on my academics whenever I have extra time, so that I don't have to worry about that when I play my sport.
Why did you choose Georgia Southern University to further your education?
I really like all the different opportunities that Georgia Southern offers academically and then I enjoy the people a lot.
What are your career aspirations?
I am not quite sure yet - there are so many things I want to do!
When it comes to striving to do your best in the classroom, who is the biggest motivator in your life?
My parents have always told me that doing your best always pays off. So that is just what I am trying to do.
What are your pre-game/competition rituals if you have any?
I have a very specific warm-up routine before tournaments, but nothing other than that.
Favorite pre game/competition meal?
Breakfast food like scrambled eggs or oatmeal since our tournaments always begin very (very) early in the morning.
