[quote=Anonymous]OP - I think you and your child needs to think about what it means to be one of the weaker students in the school. For some, that's fine given other interests and talents. For others, it may be intimidating and a recipe for disaster. Here's my example: My son chose an engineering school where he's at the 75th percentile. He didn't want to be closed out of majors and other opportunities that only went to more competitive students. He doesn't want to be struggling all the time just to be middling. He wanted that little edge. If your kid has a personality like his, using the sport to open the door would be a terrible idea. (my kid does have a serious athletic interest/talent, but it is not connected with school)[/quote]
