[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn’t going to look any different on the common app if they quit now or at the end of the season.

But there is a lot to be said for being the sort of person that honors their commitments even if they aren’t fun. The commitment they made was for the season, with no promises of playing time.   I would encourage my kid to play through the end of the season with the absolute best attitude and effort they can possibly put forward. [/quote]

College Advisor at the school who writes the school's recommendation letter, will know and could include it.[/quote]

I literally laughed out loud at the concept that the college advisor at a large public school would (a) know that a junior started and quit a sport mid-season and (b) would remember that a year later and then actually include that on the letter. You are insane to suggest this.[/quote]

You aren't a teacher, are you? Any family in the business? Mine has been teaching since the 1950s. One just recently retired from MCPS in 2020. Teachers absolutely talk about the kids. Are you you kidding? If you think all the drama is spread on Instagram and YouTube then you've never been in a teacher's lounge  :D  :D  :D

That's so sweet that your family would sabotage kids for dropping an activity a year earlier. What lovely people.[/quote]
