With given enough support would you have becomed good at any sports?

.

My personal opinion is that if you practice something enough you'll become good at it or at least thats how i feel about myself. I just realized this is something a 5th grade gym teacher would say.

I played basketball quite well even though I did not have much practice. I had great shooting skills, but I never got to polish them due to general lack of time. I am not sure if I would have become good, but it could have happened, who knows.

A couple of things and for different reasons.

When I was really young, I was pretty talented at tennis; i'd give my coach who was regional champion a good game and I was only 9 but I ended up giving it up because I was young and an idiot. I've picked it up again recently and i'm not bad but 20 is a bit late to be going anywhere.

I also realised I was good at sprinting and could do 100m in 11.3 seconds when I was around 14 but I injured my knee and i'm still trying to recover from the knee now.

No way, not even close. I've played golf for 20 years and I'm moderately good at it, broke par a few times. I've got a single-digit handicap, which I guess puts me in the top 3%. But that's a thousand miles away from being "good" in a professional sense. Most professional caddies could beat me by ten shots in 18 holes.

I'm good at every sport. ever.

I used to play a lot of basketball and wasn't too bad at it. A few people encouraged me to try out for the school teams, but it wasn't something I had the confidence to do and eventually I stopped playing that much... I guess it's my own fault, but I don't care too much now since I don't want to play organized sports anymore.

as long as your not born with some sort of disability if you were to dedicate your life to hockey or basketball or football then im sure that you could definately end up being successfull, the amount of success would depend on your level of commitment

Hell yes, If I probably could've earned a D1 scholarship for basketball if I actually tried out for basketball. I have the height, arm length, atheletic ability, defense. My jumpshot was the only thing the outright sucked.

if i played any sport it would be hockey.

I played soccer from about the time I was 4 until I was 18. If I would have practiced more, maybe I could have made something of it, but I was happy just playing for school/youth clubs.

I'd say sports is just like intelligence. You can learn up to your maximum ability, but some people are just better for no other reason than genetics. Their body build, the way they think about the game, the way their reflexes trigger to adapt to something new, the way they can see something play out before it does. You can't really teach that. I think its amazing that some people are as good at any sport as they are.

Me, I've never had the drive. I do well academically without trying too hard so I never really enjoyed trying in a sport. The games were fun, but I hated the commitment, practice after practice over and over. I don't think its fun doing anything outside of the competition, that's where the adreniline is. I think if I stuck with soccer, lacrosse, or tennis I'd be pretty damn good but I never wanted to put the effort in.

I played recreational/travel baseball for like 8 years, I was pretty good man. Then I heard The Killers for the first time- grew my hair long, started wearing eyeliner, and nice clothes, took up Music, and said F*ck you to sports forever.

I don't know. I really wish I had pursued swimming as a sport though.
