For my first post, why not start out with a controversial topic? I've played many sports in my lifetime, know people who have played the rest. I ranked these 1-5 with 5 being the most difficult and 1 being easy-peasy. The Physical aspect, how fit you have to be to play it, the Mechanical aspect, meaning how easy it is to pick the sport up, and the Mental part, which in my opinion is, after wrestling with this topic for an hour or so, is the amount of effort you need to put in to be above average at this sport, in my experience. After comparing the 3 categories, i found my results were surprising even to me. Without further Freddy Adu (thank you for those of you who got that soccer reference), my top 5 Most difficult Sports to play.
#5
With 11 points, my 5th toughest sport to play is Basketball. I ranked this one a 4 on the physical. It does take you to be in shape, however, looking at someone like Shaq, I'm pretty sure i could beat him in a 40 yard dash, and possibly a longer run. On the Mechanical part, i gave it another 4. It isn't easy to dribble the ball like Chris Paul or Kobe, or shoot like Wade or Durant. The Mental i gave it a 3, because in my experience, once you have your form, you don't need to do much more than spot up and shoot the jay SHOOT IT!
#4
Also with 11 points, due to the tie, i picked the sport with the highest single rating, and this sport had a 5. The sport of course is Football. What some people are calling the new "America's Pastime." This sport got a 5 in the physical department. Mainly to summarize, when you need to fine people for giving people concussions too often, its a pretty Gnarly sport (yeah i said Gnarly). Mechanically i gave it a 3, if you boil the sport down, its running, and tackling isn't difficult to figure out (even though some NFL teams refuse to form tackle *cough*cough*GIANTS*cough*cough*. Mentally i gave it a 3 as well. Like i said in Mechanically, if you boil it down, its basically running. Its a 3 because i considered the QB position, how you need to read the field, make good passes, etc.
#3
Another tie between the 3 and 2 positions, and because i gave them equal grades in each, personal opinion reigns. Tennis. This is a sport i have had the most success with in high school, so I'd be one who knows this sport very well. I gave Physical a 4, and the only reason i gave it a 4 and not a 5, was because my former doubles partner, not going to use his name, was I'd say about 5'3, around 250-275, an oompa-loompa basically (no offence meant Mr. Truffle Shuffle), and we did well. Mechanically and Mentally were both 4's. I believe these sports are tough to play, and master, but just about anyone can do it.
#2
As much as This sport tortured me while i was a wee lad, traveling up and down the eastern sea board (my sister played this). Soccer. Yeah i know what your saying "Steve this is a fairies sport its not harder than football or basketball!!!" Well get off your high horse, and use your brain. It received 4's across the board. It takes a lot of coordination to play this. It combines the consistent running of basketball with a lot more coordination. not to mention the field is bigger than any of the sports fields that i graded. In general, Soccer may look like a fairy sport, but how bout you try to play midfield for a game, and see what you say.
#1
The #1 sport surprised me, as coming into this, first thought, would be football or baseball. But after using my expert science techniques....sort of thing...the hardest sport according to my rankings is.......BOWLING! no, kidding, that was actually my lowest ranking with a 6. The toughest sport is Hockey! Hockey got a 5 in physical department. It is constant action, with the powerful hits that football has. I gave Mechanical a 4, The skill Sid the Kid and others have using their sticks (giggity), how Athletic and agile they need to be on skates is amazing. Mental is a 5. If you have no ice skating experience, your basically screwed trying to play this, believe me, i know from experience, the boards and i became close friends, as did me and the ice.
I ranked 10 sports, and I'll post the totals and results right now of each
#10 Bowling with 6 total points
#9 Golf with 8 total points
#8 Track & Field with 9 total points
#7 Baseball with 10 total points
#6 Lacrosse also with 10 total points
#5 Basketball with 11 total points
#4 Football also with 11 total points
#3 Tennis with 12 total points
#2 Soccer also with 12 total points
#1 Hockey with 14 total points
Well there ya have it. In this guy's professional opinion. More than likely you disagree. Feel free to post your top 5 out of these 10. Just be respectful...Ya Jerks
I'll try to keep this site updated, as well as i can. Next week, look for my post to be Sunday night, with my Superbowl predictions.
