If you're interested you could look to the lists of Rhodes Scholar's worldwide- the entry qualification (before selection for award) is to be triple top tier - reputable sporting positon and good academic marks and reputable public facing involvement.

Typically, in Australia say, an annual Rhodes Scholar might be a captain in a state cricket team and a viola player in the state orchestra and studying one of the STEM lines.

I could point to a Physics Prof who occassionally lectures at the Royal Institute with good sports and band camp cred from their youth .. or another teaching music in the US at a prestiguous school - but that starts to pinpoint my origins :)
