Inside the Locker Room

By Phoebe Hoffmann | May 26, 2014

Now that the Celebration of Excellence is behind us and most of the spring sports have started their off-season training, I’ve realized that this is the end of many Dartmouth athletes’ careers in sports. These seniors have trained for thousands of hours, taken countless bus rides and airplane trips, eaten an ungodly amount of peanut butter sandwiches and experienced a blur of locker room memories in just four years at the College.

I walk to the locker room precisely three and a half hours before each game. And every time, my hands start to shake, and questions begin racing through my head: Is my team ready? Am I ready? How will the game turn out? Stress is probably a familiar emotion to most Dartmouth students. Picture students fumbling through notes to cram in a few last-minute equations before an exam, hearts pounding.
