[quote=Anonymous]I played ODP soccer, Varsity captain, and club at Stanford. Excellent skier. 18 minute 5k times and sub 5 minute miles (so good, but not great). 1550 SAT. There were plenty of other people in the same position, but in general, I agree that by basis of simple statistical likelihood, there is little overlap in the venn diagram of academic and athletic giftedness. In my case, my parents never stressed sports, so I had to find ways to self-motivate. I think some of the same work ethic helped between sports and academics. My daughter got into AAP this year and is currently trying out for travel soccer. She's borderline right now to make even the lowest team, but I'm a believer that kids develop at different rates and the stack rank will change considerably over the years.[/quote]
