Which sport is right for me?

Question

I am 16 years old male, and never played a sport in a team. Except for soccer when I was 8, and Taekwondo until I was 13.

I am 5 feet 9 inches male. I weigh 175 pounds.

I am getting stronger and stronger from weight lifting. My body is getting really toned, especially my upper body.

I get quite scared when somebody throws me a football, or any kind of ball. I catch it, but with a lot of hesitation.

When ever I get into a sport, I tend to quit because I don't get anything achieved in the first 2 months.

But I have seen, after long exposure to the game and practice - I get good.

After watching the Olympic Games 2008, I finally decided that I should be dedicated to one sport, but I don't know.

Michael Phelps achievements attracted and inspired me, as well as did Shawn Johnson. The running also attracted me.

When I watched the Superbowl (American football, NFL), I wanted to become a quaterback, or a Y-Reciever.

When I watched FIFA, or EURO-CUP, I really wanted to become a soccer star.

I wouldn't consider myself Athletic for the reason that I never dedicated myself to a sport. A lot of my friends say, " Wow, you're the most un-athletic person I ever seen in my entire life."

Answer 1

You sound like me at that age... My best advice... don't choose a sport... it will choose you!

The whole fear of the football coming your way.... that is a quick adrenaline rush... it never goes away... and it starts to feel pretty good... nothing like making that big catch!

Also... no one will pick anything up if they only put 2 months in! Keep it going! Soon you will be doing good on instinct!

Take it from a 35 year old that was just like you once!

Answer 2

try hockey

Answer 3

Try track...Then you shouldn't have anything to be afraid of. Ive never done track, but my friends do and they love it.

Answer 4

You said that you really wanted to be a soccer star, so why don't you pursue your dream? If you have a strong body, the defender position will be suitable for you. Go catch your dream dude!

Answer 5

try boxing
