Extra Curricular Activities

Hi guys,
I just have a quick question. So during my junior, I decided to join football. I continued that in my senior as well. Every day I spend 2-3 hrs practicing and then I would stay later one more hour in the weight room lifting weights. I was not the best and I sucked at football. I didn’t start or do anything magical. But joining football changed my life, I got more friends and I was pushed out of my comfort zone. FYI I was an exchange student and I had no friends before doing football. I am applying to colleges now and I have no idea what to put under the description since I didn’t do anything good? How should I describe the activity in detail? Should write I not talk about stats and just write what I learned from doing that activity?

Thank you

You are talking on the EC section? You have limited time - but you should quantify.

Practiced and trained three hours each day.

This sounds like a great essay topic to me!
