How many people on ATAR Notes do sport??

Hey all,

I'm going into year 12 next year and I'm contemplating getting back into cricket although I'm a bit worried that it might take up too much time next year as I have to be studying hard for my school subjects.

If you're in year 12 or over, what are your experiences? If you're in my position, what are you planning to do?

and Why..

Thanks a lot.
Please... Call me Kesh

Subjects

English, Physics, Chemistry, Methods, Further, Business

If you are organised then there's no reason why you aren't able to partake in physical activity.

I jog (but am not in athletics or anything), it just helps to get things off your mind.

2012-2014. BSc: Neuroscience. University of Melbourne.
2015-2018. Doctor of Optometry. University of Melbourne.

Unlikely to respond to any PMs these days.

Everybody's different... I had a few sporting ventures I wanted to do, but I postponed them till after year 12 cos I wanted my focus to be academic. But that's just me, and there at plenty of people who would have actually done better with the sport... Everyones different and I guess it's not easy trying to figure out what will be best for you

+1 to JCore.
At the start of the year I had an erroneous concept of what it took to get an above 90 ATAR. I've always played sport, I went from karate, to cricket and football, then tennis, at started MMA in 2009 and fell in love with it. I stopped for Year 12 and it's probably the only regret of my life lol. Since the lack of exercise I've struggled to stay mentally healthy (and physically lol).
You need a release. Something to take off the stress. Take your mind off study (constructively). Besides, you'll learn better when you're at optimum health. I think the one thing you could do for your ATAR (assuming effective studying already) is balance the rest of your life out. If you just keep 'studying hard' and do nothing else you might end up wanting to throw yourself off a cliff + you might end up burning out.

I play hockey and do a lot of running (and a bunch of other non-sport extra curriculars). Can honestly say it has all taken 0% out of my study time, especially given the amount of time that I waste anyway when I have nothing on and should be studying. Time management is everything (although that means nothing coming from me).

DEFINITELY!

What I find at least is that whenever I go for a run or play a sport/other co-curriculars, I feel more motivated to actually get work done when I get home, and it increases productivity during those times. When I stopped doing it for a while, I felt more fatigued (physically AND MENTALLY), and I've found it really does help in getting out of the routine of school, study, school, study etc.

He left out the fact that he plays hockey specifically because his team isn't any good :P

Yeah I tried it once in P.E and they said I couldn't hit with both sides of the stick. That was it for me.
