Sports-Heavy OMSAS ABS?

[YaGunnasYa]

Hello! A massive chunk of my life has been dedicated to my sport, so I have like 20 entries relating to it (lol). I definitely don't have the typical premed profile so if there's anyone willing to help I'd massively appreciate it! I want to do my experiences justice and would appreciate any guidance for writing my entries. Please message me if you have experience listing sports on the ABS

There are def great skills learning and demonstrated through sport - I too found that I had a lot of sports entires, but I grouped a lot of them together. ie. I put all my high school team sports as one entry - “student athlete” and then explained which sports I played and what teams I had leadership roles on. Then I grouped all of my undergrad intramurals and then group grad degree intramurals, with a few stand alone entries when it felt appropriate. 
 

I would say my general feeling is that you might not want to overload you ABS with individual entries that may get repetitive. A stand alone entry should be unique/ significant in some way. Someone else might be able to offer you a different perspective but that is my general advice! 
 

good luck!

there's nothing wrong with a sports heavy ABS, so long as it's not literally the only thing you've done. Just emphasize canMED roles when you write your ABS & essays. Use your discretion- as the above poster said, 15 more-or-less identical entries will come across badly, so make sure each role touches on different parts of the framework.

Sports are wonderful. Sports make us feel much more confident, healthier, and stronger. These are very useful qualities that will come in handy in life. Before I started playing sports, I was an insecure person. Now that I have achieved my goal and have a body that I am completely satisfied with, the world seems a much easier place. I also think a huge amount of attention needs to be paid to supplements. For example, I take RAD 140, which allows me to raise my testosterone levels. It also makes me feel a lot better. If you try to start exercising once, you won't be able to stop.
