Academic or sports - what would you do?

Seems unlikely that someone would get a D1 athletic offer at a high performing athletic school singularly. Generally those kids have multiple offers. But if this is truly the case, examine what you really want out of life. The ball field will end at some point, at some level. I assume this level isn’t professional or you would likely have several scholarships to play in college. That said, if playing your sport is what makes you tick (and I would understand that), it may make you a better student as the void might really effect you.

You don’t specify what type of academics interest you. Often, athletes are viewed favorably in the business world (in many roles -not just sales) because they have proven tenacity, resilience, work ethic, team work (assuming team sport), etc. Those are attractive qualities. If you’re a STEM oriented student, really hard to do that with D1 sports - essentially a full time job.

I suggest really doing some soul searching. What will make you happy? What will help you launch? Can you combine them? Lot to think about.
