Start a specific sport in the intention of playing at a high level for a fairly coordinated person ?
By this I mean, if one would fall in love with a specific sport in one of their SR highschool years, would it be worth pursuing in attempts of playing competitively ?
I know, I know it varies blah blah but it's nice to hear opinions on the idea because personally I don't know if I want to start playing baseball serious despite the late-liking in my life. (Serious, as in college and worry about the rest later).
I don't know what university baseball is like, don't know how the scholars go out for it..Don't really know much outside of the rules and how to play the sport. Played it in the past, but never like "OH MY GOD PRACTISE EVERY DAY" MORE OF A PICK UP AND PLAY WITH FRIENDS.
If one were in that kind of situation, would you encourage them to pursue the sport knowing they only have 1 year to really show what they have ?(Well, 2 if you say their 13th year too).
Hard choice to make right now.
I seem to get some positive responses around here(But truthful) when I ask about something. But I don't take anything as be all end all, just like to hear some other opinions. Of course my friends are going to say "YEAH MAN YOU CAN DO IT" and whatever, but that's not an honest opinion. Internets full of assholes, so..Yeah
You can love a sport incredibly, but that doesn't mean you have the talent to play at a competitive level. Talk to your coaches and ask them to be honest about your skill set.
Haven't played on a competitve team to this date. That's my issue, it's something I've played in the past, and seeing as I know I'm quite..
Well athletic with most things, I know if I want to get to a "Good" level I can. I just don't know if missing basically 3 years of the sport from highschool is going to really allow me to come onto a determined team that has a roster and everything setup.
but iunno. I have good work ethic, and basically a year until I have to worry about even going for a try out. I need to find a way to practice hard, find some drills or something =/
I mean, I played basketball and football for my last 3 years and did so well, but I just enjoy baseball a lot more and I'm unsure as to how far I can go with 3 years out. I'm obviously better at the former, but I'm more enticed to work at getting better at the latter.
Statistically, you are not going to make it professionally, even semi-professionally, unless you have loads of natural talent and bust yr butt to capitalize on that.
Otherwise, just pursue it for fun and as intensively as you want until it starts becoming sheer work and detracts from other important aspects of yr life.
When would it be too late too..
