Bad to explain why I stopped playing sports junior year in my college essay?
So I plan on writing about how I stopped playing softball in junior year to pursue music. Should I leave out the part about stopping sports? Cause colleges would probably just want someone who's capable of doing both? They'll see on my application that I only did it for two years anyway., but writing about it calls more attention to it.
I'm applying to very elite schools if that makes a difference

It depends on the reason. If you just quit because you didn't enjoy it or weren't very good, don't write about it. If you dropped out because of injury, illness or the need to get a job, then you should weave that into your story. Elite schools don't care so much about "doing both" as they care about student who optimize the use of their time and pursue something outside of the classroom with passion.
