Should i be doing the sport I'm better at or the sport i want to do?

Question

Well people say that im a "good" cross country runner, and recently i got invited to compete in Nationals. But i do swimming as a full time sport, and the futherest i have got is to states.

What sport shall i do???

Have i made the wrong choice by doing swimming?

Thanks

Answer 1

do the one you love.  doesnt matter what other people tell you.  unless its your living.  then go with what your better at.  if other people try to push you into it tell them no.  if there your parents let them down not to roughly

Answer 2

Follow Your Passion.

Answer 3

The thing is apart from what you want, in life no matter

what you do....we have to understand even when we

are good at something, others will have their own motives

for telling us something.  (it is not always cloak and dagger).

For instance i feel that in cross country there is not so many

in it so the competitive edge is there to take on and

easily available.....do not for a moment think though, that

the rest of the world is sitting on its behind !  America is

Gigantic in this and even if one or two of ours are very good

There are 10 of theirs just as good !

There is the difference in the way i explain it, you would

most likely make a great contributor to our Swimming,

because Australia is as good as any in this and you may

even end up in the winning "Bunch"

Because i believe , what you love doing always comes on

top !  ......Just to love what you do has to be a plus.

Don't let people with their own desperate agenda to

find people in a sport their are short of people for make

your decision for you.  And all the best.

Answer 4

Do the 1 you like

Answer 5

well you seem AMAZING at both of them! nationals and states! wow but yeah id say if you like one of them more and you have more fun with it then go for that one. sports should be played for fun and not too intensly. but yeah either way.. your amazing! haha:]

Answer 6

no i think you made the right choice.

you would miss swimming too much if you had've chosen running and you would be regretting it too much.

you should be happy now that you're doing what you want to do.

Answer 7

do the one you enjoy, that way you have more of a chance of sticking with it

Answer 8

do both it will help in future  on different days though

Answer 9

Why not do both??? jus try proper time management

Answer 10

which one do you feel more comfortable with ? i chose soccer as my sport but i was really good at sprinting i regret that i made that decision dont make the same mistake as me!

Answer 11

you should the one you truly deep done in your heart love

Answer 12

Is cross country on at the same time as swimming?

You should do what you think will create the most opportunitys for you.

As you said swimming is a full time sport, so you could wait till next year to compete again and try cross country for a change?

Answer 13

do both??? but i think u should do the sport u want to do, coz the more u do it the more u will get better at.

Answer 14

You should do the one you like the most. Or, if you want to do both, you can switch off. Do cross country one year and swimming the next

Answer 15

sounds like your good at both have you ever considered puttign the two together in a swim and run or a triathlon? the bottom line is do what you find more rewarding, and fun. something you can stick too, and be excited about. follow your heart.
