I am slightly above average in performance in my sport if I am being generous. My coach has extremely strong connections to yale and strong connections to harvard, columbia (main coach for many years), brown, and cornell.

Christian McCaffrey went to Stanford with a 3.4 and 24 ACT. He was more than above average as an athlete and had to parents and a grandparent who were Stanford alums (and athletes). His high school was fairly new so didn’t have a reputation with AOs at colleges, but it did have strong (wealthy) boosters (including his parents).

My daughter was an athlete and didn’t miss a lot of classes or practices. Her school worked with the athletic department on schedules. For example, all math exams were on thurs nights. Since it was an engineering school, almost all students took some sort of math class, so the coaches didn’t schedule games or practices on Thurs nights. My daughter did have one required class that conflicted with practice. She was a senior and the coach knew by then that she would give 100% on game day.

Good luck. Work with the coaches. They know how the AI is calculated and there is no reason they’d keep it secret. What’s more, they’d know what YOU need for and AI as the coach needs to meet the AI as a team total and can have one athlete with a lower number if they have others with higher numbers.
