[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It certainly does, even for JV. In fact, there is one line for JV/Varsity sports on the common app so all lumped together. But you have to tell a story about what you did as captain, not just that you were captain. How did you get the team involved in team spirit? How did you help the coach? How was it difficult to work with younger players? Colleges are more interested in how your students helped others and lead others than the actual athletic pursuit (unless your student is a recruited athlete).[/quote] Agree that athletics are not what should be written about in the essay. Too much of that for admissions officers. Find something unique to talk about,[/quote]
