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 Jhonathan Oliveira (Peabody, Mass.) from the baseball program:
Major: Master of Business Administration
Favorite Thing About Your Sport: My favorite thing about baseball is that any team can win on any given day.
Favorite Moment on the Field With the Colonels: My favorite moment on the field in all my years at Curry has been ending this season with this 2019-2020 team. It was a very difficult time that showed how close our team truly was. I am thankful to have built such great relationships with my teammates and coaches.
What Being a Student-Athlete Has Taught You: Being a student-athlete taught me the importance of commitment, time management, and how to be a leader both on and off the field.
What You'll Miss Most About Your Team, Curry, and Being a Student-Athlete: Being a student-athlete allowed me to be committed and passionate towards my sport. I will miss the consistent balance of academics and athletics. I will also miss the early morning workouts and tough practices with my teammates, knowing we were all in it together.
Plans Post-Graduation and How Being a Student-Athlete Has Prepared You For Your Future Career Goals: After my career on the baseball diamond is over, I would like to teach and coach baseball as well at the high school/college level. This is a time when students experience the greatest period of growth in their lives and need role models.
What Advice You Would Give To Future Colonel Student-Athletes: Cherish every moment! Before you know it, you will be in your final season. Your teammates are your family. Make as many relationships as you can and make sure to leave a lasting positive impression on those around you.
