That time of year again...chancing!

Speaking of "chances". There is a "chance" that coaches will be telling athlete recruits that they are wanted on their team and asking said recruit for a verbal commitment. If you(recruit) respond back with a verbal commitment that you are willing to commit to their team, don't give up on a plan B and C. "Chances" are the coach will forget about your verbal commitment to them and not follow through with a submitting a very important "Recommendation for Appointment". Just wanted to present another side of the coin in regards to "chances".

If a few of these happened, but didnt go through with it(except for 2), is it Leverageable?

It's the military here, you don't leverage them, they leverage you

Sounds like a Russian reversal(Or is it Military reversal)? /}

I mean that If I was offered to join sports team as kid or in college, Can I reference that in any part of the process ? "These sports though hobbies, I was good enough to be told and recommended in some of them". IE Baseball and Table Tennis.

In my humble opinion, no - the largest benefits of team sports are the experience of working as a member of a team and the leadership experience that you gained as a member of the team. Being offered the chance to join these teams does not provide you any of this experience. But, then again, this are your applications - if you feel that referencing these offers help strengthen your packages, then include it.

And if I played team sports almost every day on lunch break or post class or weekends?
IE A Club organized a Softball tournament. There were so many teams and they did it so fast. Like on those cartoon with the puff smoke. I got a team of rag tags(only 1 one was on a team, others were ex-players or played with them on ocassion, other hadnt since kid) and 2 1/2 weeks before it I arranged for daily practices and even though stuff happened(with members leaving due injury, manager gave them hour on day or emergency flight) (though luckily they did recommend a friend or brought a mate) and..we reached semifinals. Even the Club Board was Impressed got all of them together(couldnt believe that I got all those different people from different backgrounds who were almost strangers to play) and even other captains offered to join either join my team and/or altwred me of future tournaments so we could "Show-down" . And the team thing also rekindled connections between people and friendships "Hey lol you're here too!/Didn't knew you knew B.B lol" and learned a lot and had so much fun. And the shorts that used look kinda like AFA's design. Ain't it cool?

And those kind of experiences permeated me. How do I use those kind of things in resume, nomination and process? And how to write it.
