Sports don’t help much unless you get recruited.
And that’s final. Otherwise it would count about as much as being in any other normal activity where you aren’t distinguished- but on which you probably spend considerably less time than you do on sports.
And no, playing a sport is not that rare at all for a HYPSMC applicant- the stereotype of good students having no life is just that, a stereotype :(
