Having good grades is huge for those extracurricular activities they wanna see that your doing good at school. In football they wanna make sure you understand that being a student athlete means to be doing good in school and making sure your smart about your decisions so u have time to do all your school work and other things outside of school and sports. for math club they want to see the same. they want to see that your doing great ins school and making sure you are being great at the subject you enjoy. Time management is a very important thing to be aware of. As an example if you had a 2 hour practice at 7:30-9:30 u should realize that right after school u should go home do school work or whatever is needed to be done before your practice and thats all done thats something called time management because you are aware of what u have to do and when u need to do it.
