Answer 1

Ice Hockey and Rugby are tougher than all of those sports, and they're not listed. Good job. Horse riding? Cheerleading? Are you serious?

Answer 2

first off i'm going to add ice hockey and baseball and softball

1: ice hockey- first you have to be able to ice skate well which is a sport within itself then you have to be able to handle the stick and the puck and be able to get beat up during the game.

2: soccer- soccer guys are HOT! you have to be able to take a fall without any pads on unlike football and there is so much contact and sweat and never quite knowing in your mind how this is going to all work out.

3:football-you have to be way strong to tackle and run and catch the ball all in the same game while thinking about plays and stratigy.

4: baseball/softball: they are close to the same game but haveing to be able to hit and catch the ball and run is pretty fun and hard core.

5: cheerleading- i think cheerleaders are WAY underestimated! you have to have killer leg and ab muscles to be able to do the jumps they do plus it is gymnastics and the tumbling they have to do. plus think of the TRUST you MUST have with your squadmembers to be able to do the awesome stunts they do and to be tossed around like they do. i mean can you imagin letting someone through you into the air and catch you?

6:volleyball- having to dive for a ball and skid across the floor? no thank you

7: swimming-you have to have killer arm, shoulder, and  leg muscles to even compete at a decent level in this sport.

8:gymnastics- you have to have great balance and strength for this and can you imagin going on the beam and throwing flips or fliping from bar to bar?

9: horse riding- i know this is hard to be able to train your horse and for you and your horse to compete as one has got to be hard!

hope you agree with me :)

Answer 3

rugby-speaks for itself

soccer-

football-wear pads, not as bad as soccer

basketball--mentally

gymnastics-mental and physical--have you seen some of those moves?

cheerleading--they do have to learn routines

tennis-mental and physical

volleyball--two on two--rough

softball-mental but depends on fast or slow-pitch

swimming--physical

horse riding---a big animal carrying you around all day? not hard

Answer 4

1. cheerleading: i say not only because i am a cheerleader but it takes sooo much to be one because you have to be able to throw people in the air which is much harder then throwing a small little ball..plus you have tumbling which takes so much energy and strength

2. football: it takes lots of energy, drive, and strength to play..you get down & dirty and though you are protected by pads, i still believe you get injured roughly

3. soccer: you skid on the ground, run back and forth rapidly, and its an all around tough sport...very cool sport indeed

4.gymnastics: you have to have muscles like crazy to do gymnastics...you run quickly across a mat and do flips and twists that average people could never do...training is crazy and tough

5.swimming: you have to have the strength to catapult yourself across a long pool..plus you have to worry about getting air and you must have lots of body strength

6. horse riding: very tough because ive seen collisions ending up in serious injuries and you have to be light and agile to ride but you also have to believe and trust the horse you are riding

7.softball: you have to run a lot and throw with alkl your might

8. volleyball: diving on the ground to score points, running around the court to get to that volleyball..plus you may even get hit right smack in the forehead w/ the ball

9. basketball: you have to be able to run through people trying to steal the ball from you and dodge them and sometimes you may even get knocked down from a basketball player bigger then you...foul!

10. tennis: very complicated because you have to run side to side and hit the ball with lots of strength

just my opinion :)
