Into the Life of a College Athlete

Pittsburgh

Spring of 2025

This collection of photos captures the full reality of life as a Division I athlete at Robert Morris University, with a special focus on RMU Women’s Lacrosse. These images show the side of being a Division I athlete that often goes unseen: everything outside of actual gameplay. The highs, the lows, and everything in between. From early morning treatments and long hours of practice preparation to bus study sessions, travel days, and recovery routines, these images capture the real, behind-the-scenes work that defines life as a college athlete.  These photos tell an honest story of the time, effort, and emotion it takes to live the life of a student-athlete beyond the game-day spotlight.
