Colleges want athletes. It’s very interesting to note that some prestigious colleges like the University of Chicago and Harvard actually put a bit more emphasis on this because they want to change their “Nerd School” image and get some athletes in there.

All people are different, it is true that some possess incredible abilities in other areas such as a music and writing; however, colleges want to see people participating in sports even if everyone plays them. It is definately not a hindrance to play sports, or rather, if you have the drive it shouldn’t be a problem. For example, I continued to be a dedicated athlete even while taking 11 classes during my senior year in High School. This sort of drive is what colleges like to see.
