tennis vs soccer

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Hello,
Which sport is better for the high school sport for extracurricular activity?
I got so stress which one I should choose.
Ethnic: Korean (uhm...kk)
Gender: Male
Height: 5ft 11in (uhm...?-_-)</p>

<p>I will be freshmen in this fall, and I found out it's time to decide one sport.
People say rather than playing various sports it is best to be good at one sport bc of maybe leadership position and others.</p>

<p>I personally like soccer better. I would say my interests 8(out of 10) and tennis for 5(out of 10).
But I found out the "odd" that for asian and male the sport of tennis is so common that even college administrator first ask asian, did you play tennis in high school.
So then I should play soccer?
I think that soccer is better sports to meet different peoples and make friends, since of the how sport is played.
But the soccer, it's not usual to play soccer in college and after, is it? It's not usual to gather 22 college students or adult to play soccer.
Then, I should play tennis? What about the "odd". I worry that my form may look not TOO unique. Besides, for the musical extracurricular activity, I play piano and got few awards. That's the second "odd" that asian play piano...The other activity may not be same.
Then, I should play soccer. Uhm,, my dad is really great at tennis, so I know I will improve and may have chance to play top at varsity team.
I also wonder which sport is better to show my leadership or take leadership position for future(for junior/senior)
Then, I should play both of them, well the season is same. So I should choose either one.</p>

<p>Thank you for reading such unorganized post.
I will be thank comment like play tennis or play soccer
It would be great to hear from you, your own thoughts, your own experience and others.
Again, thank you.</p>

<p>Do soccer. If you’re into the build yourself for college thing do something to differentiate you from other candidates. Colleges don’t want cookie cutters who want to look good, they want people who are good at something they love/like.</p>

<p>SOCCER.</p>

<p>I would go with soccer because you seem to like it better. Also, I think you would stand out more if you played soccer.</p>

<p>This is kindof sad in my opinion. Sports are about passion, hard work and having fun. Choosing to play a sport because it looks good on an application is sad.</p>

<p>That being said, soccer is the way to go. Especially if it is what you are more interested in.</p>

<p>Don’t play a sport because you think it’ll look good on an application. Do what you enjoy.</p>

Liar! Everyone knows Asians are short.</p>

<p>^ lol
I only read the first few lines…for real just play what you’ll excell in. That looks pretty good.</p>

8

<p>^^Everyone now knows you’re a racist.</p>

9

<p>^Damn, and I’d kept it a secret for so long.</p>

<p>Make sure you tell that to the admissions committee.</p>

11

<p>Nah, it’s not like I’m passionate about it or anything.</p>

12

<p>I’m asian and I’m 5’10 (used to be shortest in my class every year, though haha)
As for what sport you want to do… tennis is really really common- in our school where like 40% is asian, only 4 people in boys+ girls varsity are non-asian, i think-but soccer is pretty common as well. Now with that said, you shouldn’t play sports for the sake of a college application. Just do whichever one you like more or are better.
Also, no offense meant but try brushing up on grammar some. Way more important to be able to write well than to do one sport over another.</p>

<p>^^ but you sure were passionate enough to practice racism on the public forum. Eh I think I’m overreacting.</p>

14

<p>“Eh I think I’m overreacting.” -> Wait, you were being serious?</p>

15

<p>lol kind of</p>

16

<p>

You thought I was being serious there? Lawl, you have a very low opinion of me.</p>

17

<p>Indeed, I have been underestimating you.</p>

<p><loftyvoice>It’s alright, I forgive you</loftyvoice></p>

<p>I’m certain no one was asking for your forgiveness in this thread. Is that comment stemming from your mental instability?</p>
