College Students Fail at Alarming Rate: York, PA Man Has Answer

Added stress and anxiety can cause students to make poor life choices under pressure. "When parents send their student to college they often don’t realize the student could be ill prepared for the demands and stress of college life. Just sending them to a top university doesn’t ensure the student’s success,” says David Ritchey, The College Coach. Life coaching can drastically improve the chances of a student finding tremendous success in college life and beyond.

(PRWEB) September 2, 2006 -- In today’s fast paced world young adults coming out of high school are not being prepared adequately to manage all of the aspects and stress of fast paced college demands. Added stress and anxiety can cause students to make poor life choices under pressure. David Ritchey, leading college life coach, says there is a simple, yet effective solution to these issues.

"When parents send their student to college they often don’t realize the student could be ill prepared for the demands and stress of college life. Each year US News and World gives details the top universities in the nation, yet we read very little about how to help students once they arrive at said college. Just sending them to a top university doesn’t ensure the student’s success,” says David Ritchey, The College Coach. Ritchey goes on to state, “We continually hear in the news of students that make poor choices under pressure. College students are under a great amount of stress as they step out on their own.” He mentions also that the drop out rate in college has not decreased from a 50% status in the past few decades. Students seeking success in college would do well to find a personal coach and mentor to help them balance the demands of college life and cheer them on to the finish line. Life coaching can drastically improve the chances of a student finding tremendous success in college life and beyond.

As parents send their students off to schools around the country it seems imperative those students gain the life skills necessary to overcome the stress of college and achieve all that they are capable of. To do that they need the life skills to manage their time, money, and social lives as well as the academics, physical and emotional aspects of adult life.
