My oldest (not an athlete) said that good schools know whether you report all of the subject tests that you took, or only those that you select to report. Since you would be more likely to exclude tests that you did not do as well on, those who don't report all are presumably at a disadvantage. Not sure if they also know when you are reporting the only SAT / ACT that you took or your best of several.

I think this all would matter less for an athlete.
