[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone who has been through this comment on how ECs are looked at for recruited athletes at high academic schools?  D3 and Ivy.  Feel like DS's EC involvement suffers because of his time commitment to his sport.  Sophomore now so it's not too late to get more involved in other stuff but don't know if it's needed or worth it if sports is a likely hook for him.  Not like he does nothing - some involvement with youth group and a club at school but definitely not anything like some of these Ivy and high academic D3 admits seem to be doing.[/quote]

I still connect with several of the athletes who play the sport I did at my alma mater. All of them have impressive ECs beyond just athletics. Most had non-sports leadership positions and/or were on student council. All were involved in community service (for several it was at least partially tied to sports since free youth clinics and elementary school visits are things some high schools do or that your kid could probably organize). All but one I can think of have been captains on their high school teams too. You don't need to do as much but I always see additional involvement and leadership.[/quote]
