<p>Not so sure if “what” sport is as important as “what you do in it.”
Tons of sports to choose from-
lax is great, so is track.<br>
If you really want something even harder, try crew.</p>
<p>Don’t lose the message USNA69 has sent- “leadership and teamwork are paramount.”</p>
<p>I will second Jadler re: doing something that is of interest to you.
I will also second not to “craft” your resume into something you THINK the admissions board wants to see, rather something of particular interest to you. Far better to do something you love to do.</p>
<p>As for lax- great team sport, but with all due respect, jumping in as a junior is a hard thing to do… a lot of players out there have gotten their start during single-digit years- which is not to say some come along later in the game, pick up a stick and excell- but they are the exception and not the rule. But if you love it, go for it.</p>
<p>Best of luck!!</p>
