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 have a sales org of 50+ rolling up to me, and can confirm - when hiring, candidates that come with a NCAA athletic background generally interview better, and are regularly some of my highest performers with high ambitions to move up in the org as well.
