Question by ♥Ð"ove and Ð"ïfe♥:

Are sports important on your high school resume when applying to go to a college?

I am wondering because I am very athletic, however I am not sure if I want to participate in any sports.

I take on a lot of leadership skills, extracurricular activities, and I am practically valedictorian, but just how important are sports on your resume?

Answer by Kara
Colleges like it if you played sports in high school because it shows that you are a team player and that you have school spirit.

It's not necessarily better than other extracurriculars, but it does look good to colleges.
