I’ve been wondering, should you play a sport just to have an EC? I played lacrosse this year and I’m planning to continue on with it junior and senior year strictly because I thought I’d be good to have at least one athletic EC. I highly doubt I’ll ever be good enough to get a scholarship or anything, but now I’m wondering if I should stick with it. It’s good to be well rounded, right? I do volunteer work and I participate in clubs, but I thought a sports would add an edge…
No. Play a sport if you enjoy the sport.
No. It is never a good idea to do sports solely for a EC. Sports are very time consuming and exhausting, and if you do not truly enjoy it or not very good at it, it is a waste of time you can spend doing something productive and that you actually enjoy.
^what they said, unless the alternative is TV, youtube or the like! Sometimes it inspires discipline if you like it, even if you are not good at it. If you dislike it, then I agree, try something else:)
