For example both sports you are in Varisity and you become a captain senior year? Will playing 2 sports really have an advantage over someone for example that plays 1 sport only?
If you’re not a recruited athlete it won’t make a difference.
I agree with @techinerd and would add that you are a recruited athlete it still won’t make a difference. Examples: I was a two sport nonrecruitable athlete and did reasonably well with college admissions; my kids were both one sport recruited athletes and both attended their first choice elite colleges.
No, play one sport and do really well in it, it’s more important than playing two sports.
If you play 2 sports, it’s who you are and how you engage with others. But it’s no more or less valuable than playing one sport year round or being a musician or anything else unless you are trying to get recruited.
If you play two sports during the year and do well, colleges see that you can balance many activities.
But only do the second sport if you enjoy it, not just for college.
Many coaches like their athletes to play other sports too. Many of the recruited athletes I know did play multiple sports even if they were the star in only one. Even in my high school days, most of the top athletes played a sport in every season, and then baseball in the summer.
Do what you enjoy, really. My daughter does three sports… because she loves them, not to impress an adcom.
Yes i love both sports with all my heart! But I’m not sure if I can balance them… along with 4 Ap Classes.
