What are your race times or jumping/throwing distances? It is pretty easy to figure out if you are a potential blue chip in Track and Field. Also, compare your stats with the current team.

My DD, class of 2023, filled out the recruitment form on the Navy athletic website and then initiated a last-minute informal Saturday morning visit to team practice on Navy/Air Force gameday her junior year. We drove 5 hours and the yard was bustling. We had a great time viewing practice...

I hate to be a downer Saveair-K, but I must agree with Korab re: walking on to the men's lacrosse team with no experience. However, there are many other teams and club sports available.

Sounds like you need a little motivation. Try reading "Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins. Chapter 1, Challenge #1: Inventory of Excuses.
