hardest? basketball

Water polo is not easy…tons of kids from west coast play. Crew is easier. Basketball and soccer are tough for boys. Everything is easier for girls because less competition and Title IX

Not true re basketball because height factors heavily.. If the kid is 6"10, it won't be that hard. Can't coach height.

It seems like Crew. I know a group of girls who did crew at an Ivy and didn't seem like they started before middle school, nor that they were as intense about their sport as other college athletes

I think hardest are soccer and basketball.

Impossibly hard for men. Only 600ish total programs from D1-D3 and each roster is only 10 or so. Only 2 of those 10 graduate year in/year out. Translation: you will need to be in the top 1200-1500 players under 18 years old on earth to play collegiate men's golf. Much easier for girls but easier to pick up lacrosse and play D3 than learn golf if you've never played. It's easier right now to play D1 football than D1 golf, actually.

6 percent of high school golfers play in college. Give me those odds in most other sports please

If you are over 6' girl or 6'6" boy and very athletic, you can become a recruitable volley ball player during 4 years of high school.

Maybe not at UCLA or Stanford but an athletic tall kid with good hops is probably recruitable.

lol @ fencing. Sounds soul sucking. All the people think their kids are going to get full rides to Princeton or Yale.

this is a dumb discussion

Not true for rowing. Very few people have experience before high school.

As a girl, to be recruited for an Ivy, you need to be very fast on the erg (rowing machine).

And all of the top rowing schools are looking for tall girls. In some cases 5’10 and above.
