You don't have to be good at sports for the kind of colleges that TJ kids apply to, you just need to participate! No, the sports teams at TJ are not taking home state championships every year, but lots of kids participate on teams and learn all the valuable lessons that kids learn from working together on a team with the added bonus of being physically fit. Highly ranked colleges like to see sports participation because it shows an applicant understands the importance of teamwork and it also shows that a student can achieve high grades while engaging in team practices for 2 hours/day x 5 days/week plus meets or games.
Don't worry, TJ kids who are sports team members are not at all hurt by TJ's sports reputation when they apply to colleges. Colleges like to see athletics participation, whether the team wins or loses.
