[quote=Anonymous]"How do you know they think all this? That was not my DC's experience nor the feedback from his college counseling office. Fortunately he had some decent long term non-sports ECs as back up. In fact, he was advised NOT to write about the injury and his journey to focus in on other endeavor in his essays."

He was advised to NOT write about the injury BECAUSE he had some decent long term non-sports.  Remember, his application still read something like 20 hrs per week 50 weeks a year XXX sport as a freshman and as a sophomore, then XXX sport disappeared.  Most likely it also read something like VARSITY as a freshman or 3rd in the state JV tennis championship as a freshman.  The schools know what that takes and give credit for it.

You don't have to point your love and pining for the missing sports part out.  Your counseling office correctly said that pining for what your can't have anymore is a turn off.  What you have to do is show that you are applying the same drive that got you to a spot near the top of your sport as a freshman to your new (or formerly second tier) activities.  What they want is people who will throw themselves 100% into whatever they do.
