Common App essay about soccer?

<p>I know that it’s a big no-no to write your essays about sports, but I’m taking a slightly different approach (I don’t really wanna elaborate on my idea, since it’s irrelevant to the question). I actually think that my topic is pretty original and describes me pretty well, and that the essay will turn out really interesting. But I have one concern: there is absolutely no mention of soccer anywhere else in my app. Don’t get me wrong, I’m absolutely obsessed with the sport and Chelsea FC in particular, but I’ve never played for a serious team and have never won any major competitions. I focused on academics instead, and only played recreational soccer with my friends every week or so. So is it okay to write about something I’m really passionate about, but doesn’t appear on the rest of my app at all? Or would admission officers find it weird?</p>

<p>It could show more well-roundedness</p>
