Players in the University Athletic Association and a couple of other conferences involving lots of travel lead an interesting life. They pack up on Thursday for the weekend several times a year, play two road games in different cities, study in airports and eat on the run.

But we wanted you to hear what it was like first-hand for these players, as well as other Division III basketball student-athletes. So we've asked one to join us on our blog, the Daily Dose, for our new Insider feature. Introducing Sean Wallis.

Wallis, a point guard, helped lead Wash U to the national semifinals last season, where the Bears were edged by Virginia Wesleyan. In his first installment, Wallis talks about the unusual offseason workouts for the Bears, the team's first weekend on the road and wearing the preseason No. 1 target on their back.

Also, we're looking for another couple of players to join the Insider team -- drop us a line at info@d3hoops.com if you're a player with stories to tell, we'll pick a couple of people and clear it with your coach.
