[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is elite level athlete?  You are either recruitable, or not recruitable.  [/quote]

You can be recruitable but choosing not to play. If a girl was a starter on a nationally ranked team but chose not to play they still have a fantastic EC. If they were a captain on the team even better. They were elite at their main EC which is the bar.[/quote]

Definitely not true and I say this as a parent of varsity atheletes.  If your kid is not an athletic recruit, sports are among the useless ecs.  May get some leadership points if kid is a varsity captain, but others pretty useless as far as admission as  impact.[/quote]

My son was a varsity captain of his basketball team but not a recruited athlete but 3 kids on his team were high D1 recruited.[b] The varsity captain helped college admissions tremendously [/b]in addition to his strong academics.  [/quote]

Source for this? Where is he going? Captains of teams are ok but generally meaningless. There are many of them at every school...[/quote]

Accepted to a Top 10 and Top 20.[/quote]

Not because he was captain of a team.  [/quote]
