Hi guys,
So here's the deal. I have been playing basketball since I was in kindergarten and it had always been my main sport. This past year I was one of two sophomores that made the JV/Varsity team at my school. The problem is I'm not so sure I have a passion for it anymore and there is a large amount of politics that have been driving me crazy lately. Best case scenario is that I would achieve a varsity letter and become a captain. I don't know if that would happen though. In 9th grade I also did track and field as well as cross country.. I have worked really hard at both and have gotten quite good. I live in Minnesota but I came up with the idea of wanting to start a winter running club at my school. This would help me and other kids continue to improve at running through the winter. Through this club I also want to do a charity 5k that benefits my school. I would be the founder of this club and also lead it. I also would continue to get better at track and better my chances of being a recruited track runner at the AFA. Some side notes are that I am ranked 3/606 in my class, all honors and APs, leadership positions in NHS and FCA and also hoping to be captain of track and CC. Do you think starting my own club would improve my chances over basketball? What should I do?
