Ever wonder what it’s like to be a collegiate star and experience the perks and responsibilities of being a student-athlete at the University of Kentucky? The following video should give you a better idea.

UK Sports Video was along for the ride at Southeastern Conference Media Days on July 21 to shoot a behind-the-scenes video of what a typical media day is like for some of UK’s student-athletes. The staff followed head coach Joker Phillips, senior linebacker Danny Trevathan, senior offensive lineman Stuart Hines and junior quarterback Morgan Newton as they worked their way through a full day of interviews at the Wynfrey Hotel in Birmingham, Ala.

As you’ll see in the video, it’s an exhausting, exhilarating and honorable experience for the student athletes. The entire UK football team will go through it Friday for UK’s media day at Commonwealth Stadium (the event is not open to the public).
