Why would you submit a letter of rec from your football coach? I'm being serious. It is very unlikely that your coach can add anything that your teachers can't comment on. If you are interested in varsity football or lightweight football at USNA, your coach (or you) should contact the Navy coach for that sport. Other than that, the LOR from the coach is likely a waste of your time . . . and his.
A sample size of 1 isn't very meaningful.BTW - DD received and accepted an appointment in February to USAFA....with this LOR.
I disagree with an LOR from a coach being a waste of time for both parties. A good coach of a team sport will see the applicant in more situations of leadership than any high school classroom teacher. What are you going to "lead" in a math class?

USNA doesn't ask for a recommendation from a history teacher. They ask for a recommendation from a math teacher from you junior or senior year as well as an English teacher from your junior or senior year.My coach happens to be my history teacher too

why wouldn't USNA ask applicants for LOR's from there coaches?
For the USNA application there is no option on the candidate portal to submit an LOR from a coach. If USNA actually cares about a coach's LOR and they give applicants points for having good LOR's from coaches, why wouldn't USNA ask applicants for LOR's from there coaches?
I'd love to hear from a knowledgeable source if the AC would really give a ratsbehind about a few tardies of a 17 year old boy. If so, I'd say they've strayed far off track.Will 8 tardies first semester of my junior year affect me a lot?
If you're going to critique someone else's grammar at least use proper grammar yourself. S/B "too"Here's hoping your English teacher doesn't grade to heavily on spelling and grammar. S/B "their"

Additional letters of recommendation are not required for admission to the United States Naval Academy. Our application for admission already includes the requirement for written input from your math and English teachers, counselor and Blue & Gold Officer. This input provides us with more than enough information to make a determination on behalf of each candidate. Additional letters of recommendation will only be meaningful if they are provided by someone who has observed you for a long period of time and can provide information about your overall qualities that is not already provided in other parts of the application file. For example, a letter from an official who has had direct observation of your participation in an activity and/or performance in a leadership position may be helpful to the Admissions Board.
