I am 19 and i want to play AFL. Have i left it too late?

Question

All my life i never really played much sport, my parents never pushed me or anything.

Now that i am older, i fell as if i need to compensate for all those opportunities that i never got.

I feel as if i need to prove to my friends and family that I CAN play sport and that i'm not a "no hoper".

I have never really played AFL before besides kicking the footy around.

Is there anyone else out there that has experience the same situation?

Or am i the only one?

Answer 1

If was to convince someone to play football it would be easy. I am 13 and I have been playing football since I was 6, I think it is the greatest game on the planet (if not the universe). In my situation unfortunately I have to stop playing because I get really really bad pains in my feet. Also if I run for more than a Kilometer the next day I won't be able to walk for the whole next day. So I encourage everyone that is thinking of playing. If your 19 who care it just means that you need to work on your skills a bit, maybe play in a lower division and see how it goes from there.
