I would like to take up a new sport. I'm 21 years old and female.

Question

I want to take up a new sport. Any suggestions as to which sports are relatively easy to become good at when starting later in life. By later I mean not when I was a child. I would like to enter competition at some stage. Just some ideas of what sports are easier to become good at would be very helpful. Thanks

Answer 1

Hmmm... Well, I always thought the sports that were most fun were the easiest. Try out a bunch, and whatever one you like most, practice. As soon as you get good, it's very fun.

If you want one to start out with... Maybe soccer? I like football.

Good luck!

Answer 2

How about you try out archery?  I know of people that got good enough to almost make the Olympics after only 3-4 years of intensive training.  I'm sure you've heard of Geena Davis.  While she wasn't that close to making it to the Olympics, she got good at the sport rather quickly.  Too bad she decided to abandon it after she failed at the trials.
