[quote=Anonymous]For most, participation in sports has almost no relevance to college acceptance or performance, which are correctly oriented towards academics and not athletics. Sports can have some social benefits, but also present opportunities to spend money, become injured, and can distract from what should be higher priorities if one is thinking about the future. While it's not necessary for a child to focus only on academics in order to gain admission to a good university and to have a good career thereafter, too much time devoted to sports becomes affirmatively unhelpful, no matter how entertaining it is. Reflect on priorities, and you'll have your answer about how much time is appropriate to devote to which pursuits. [/quote]
