MILTON, Mass. – Following the cancellation of the spring seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including Senior Days, the Curry College Athletic Department wanted to give the senior student-athletes time to reflect on their career with the Colonels.
We continue our Senior Reflection web series and today we have Adam Duarte (East Providence, R.I.) from baseball:
Major: Criminal Justice
Favorite Thing About Your Sport: My favorite thing about baseball is winning: winning the game, winning the at-bat, and the satisfaction of winning makes all the hard work worth it.
Favorite Moment on the Field While With the Colonels: My favorite moment on the field with the Colonels was having a good day hitting two home runs against Salve Regina last season and after making my mom's favorite play, I always give her a point as she is cheering in the stands.
What Has Being a Student-Athlete Taught You: Being a student-athlete taught me that prior proper planning prevents poor performance, both in the classroom and on the field.
What You'll Miss Most About Your Team, Curry, and Being a Student-Athlete: I will miss the moments outside of the lines: the locker room, the meals at the stu, 6:00 a.m. conditioning, and all the things that go into a winning team, but go unnoticed to the fans.
Plans Post-Graduation and How Being a Student-Athlete Has Prepared You For Your Future: I plan on becoming a police officer for a local police department. Being a student-athlete has taught me to be a leader and how to work hard, even when you do not want to.
What Advice Would You Give To Future Colonel Student-Athletes: Along every step of your four-year journey, take a moment to soak it all in. Not everyone gets the chance to play a college sport and before you know it, you will be playing your last game with your brothers with whom you have made a lifelong bond. It is very special and do not take a second of it for granted.
