[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is a high EQ EC? I have no concept of what you are talking about?[/quote]

It's almost a tease. self brag.

Team sports are supposedly the most high EQ activities.  But AOs don't care about this at all.  
If they really don't care about college admissions, then look no further, just do varsity team sports.[/quote]

Hardly bragging. My non-athletic kid couldn’t do varsity team sports even if they wanted.[/quote]
PP listed Sports, job, and "high eq" stuff.  Is his sports activity low eq?  There is no need to act mysterious while pretending she doesn't care at all, or else she won't even read and post on dcum.  The point is there is no point to highlight an attribute that is so commonly found in popular teen activities but not favored upon by AOs while at the same time saying I dont' care I don't care you moms are silly caring.[/quote]

sports has no EQ associated, but team captain is high-ish EQ. any leadership gained by coaches or fellow team members is nice to have [/quote]

Very narrow minded [/quote]

NP. EQ is no more associated with sports than it is with any competitions. Maintaining composure when your varsity is down 20 points in a basketball game is no different than maintaining composure when your team is getting attacked by a debate opponent off of an earlier misstep. Working with teammates under a screaming coach to practice an offensive play in football to perfection is no different than working with other players under a tough-love teacher to make a passage sound good. So, really, what is a "high EQ" sports??[/quote]
