I did read an interesting thing the other day that 95% of fortune 500 CEOs played college sports. I'm not really sure what to read into that, but I think that putting enough effort into getting good enough grades while spending enough time on a sport to play at a collegiate level is putting in some pretty solid effort during HS/College years.
I think that just suggests that most CEOs had wealthy parents and paid into the youth sports industrial complex. If you want to play college athletics pick an obscure expensive sport to help with college admissions.
