I was a strong athlete in high school who was not recruited and didn't play in college (Ivy League). I probably could have been ok in one of my sports but would not have made the team in the other. However, I am sure that it helped on my college applications that I showed discipline, persistence, leadership (captain of two sports), and time management skills--all the the things we all appreciate about sports, right? These are qualities that every student is going to need to succeed and here is a way to have a little bit of proof.

I don't think any colleges besides Division 1 schools see sports any differently than other extra-curriculars.  And why would they???

I don't think you should overthink -- and especially not over-orchestrate -- your kids' interests. I LOVED participating in sports in high school. It was social, it was stimulating, I loved the competition, loved the process of improving little by little. For me, sports were an end in themselves.[/quote]
