<p>definitely talk it out with both coaches, as well. explain the situation to them, they should put your needs of the academy above their personal interest, but be careful and remember even the good ones are still biased to their sport. i spent most of my springs fighting with the track and soccer coaches, whose seasons overlapped, trying to get them to let me do both. in the end i just couldn’t get them to work with me so i quit track after my sophomore year. </p>
<p>the more sports, the better, <em>if</em> your grades don’t suffer. but they really shouldn’t if you manage your time well. </p>
<p>but don’t choose to play or not play a sport because you think you MIGHT get hurt. that’s ridiculous. the only way to be sure and prevent an injury is to lock yourself in a padded room. and i don’t think usafa would be a fan of that. and i have to strongly disagree with luigi59 here, soccer is notorious for injuries, so don’t for a second think you’ll be “safer” with soccer.</p>
