I'm a current junior and play soccer year-round. I think that being on a sports team is what grounds me during hectic times, like the overwhelming task of applying to West Point. In addition to soccer, I run in the mornings and go to the gym before or after practice. I know junior year is tough and senior year is going to be a lot tougher but I think it is best to prioritize. If your daughter is really lacking in the CFA aspect but is doing fine academically/extracurricularly, maybe cut back on those activities and focus more on sports and training for the CFA. For me, I prioritize training and sports over academics, which is my strength.
And from what I've heard, at West Point cadets are required to balance academics, fitness, and extracurriculars; I think part of the application process gets us ready for the busy workloads we will have there.
I'm assuming her two sports aren't in the same season, so it is possible to train for the CFA while playing a sport, it just requires more time and effort.
