How do I expand this narrative arc? If you are a sport-obsessed teen who wants to authentically expand and diversify, consider the following options:
Want to load up on sports summer experiences? Have a look at the Georgetown Sports Management Program.
Check out Wharton’s intensive Moneyball Academy summer program for teens interested in the world of sports business
Create public art on a local basketball court with Project Backboard
Help your school establish a better concussion protocol with Heads Up
Start a fundraiser for a sports team in a nearby low income community with Support Youth Sports
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SUMMER PROGRAMS: College admissions officers are very adept at identifying “resume padders”: expensive, one-off programs paid for by your parents which do not mesh with your narrative arc. Therefore, make sure any summer program or course you consider falls into one (or more) of these four buckets:
Highly selective/competitive
Totally unique + linked to your narrative arc
Evidence of adulthood (long hours, multi-year commitment or simply hard work)
A jumping off point or expansion for an authentic narrative arc.
If none of the above apply, a program could still have value to you if it allows you to test a potential interest. However, if it does not end up being a jumping off point for further interests, then you may not want to mention it in your high school resume
