<p>The job will be considered, but they do have a process and use it to fairly evaluate each Candidate. The whole person is what they are looking at. Being on every sport or in every club (Quantity) or a few select teams and organizations (Quality) are all looked at. Your ALO is the first person to get an impartial look at you. You should remember the ALO can’t get you in USAFA but sure can keep you out. That person has been trained by the Academy on what to look for and how to evaluate it. If they tell you team sports are needed you may wish to consider thier invaluable opinion. On the other hand if they tell you your job has developed the same qualities your OK. My point is none of us can give you the answer you seem to be looking for unless we will be your ALO or sit on the Admission Panel, but most of the people have had experience with the process, as applicants, parents, etc. Team Sports are so important becuase you will need both the physical ability, and skills developed in them to survive Jack’s Valley and beyond. It may seem like an requirement that shouldn’t carry so much weight, but it has a clear purpose.</p>
