June 14, 201313 yr What about gymnastics/cheerleading? Have no experience with these but they certainly appear athletic with the flips and coordination.
June 14, 201313 yr I am going with lawn mowing. Pushing those mowers takes great stamina, lower leg strength, strong core, agility to hold that kill switch while you push. I hear the KHSAA is going to sanction this as a high school sport next year.
June 14, 201313 yr Swimming...strength training cardio, pool time. All before 6am....then repeat after school. Never knew how much was involved until my daughter joined a swim team. To be at the top of swimming world is grueling, and then there's the dieting....
June 15, 201313 yr Decathletes have to be able to do it all. Now the hardest position in sport to play is NFL QB. Hockey Goalie is 2nd. Major League hitter 3rd.
June 15, 201313 yr Before Hockey I would go with Rugby, same skill set but without ability to coast when tired.
June 15, 201313 yr Decathlete is good but Hand Eye coordination not really needed for that. Hitting a major league pitch may be the single most difficult thing to do in sports, but no one is going to say Bob Horner or John Kruk were great over all athletes.
June 16, 201313 yr Professional Motocross AKA "Supercross" Strength, Endurance, Cardio, Toughness etc....
June 17, 201313 yr So I guess there are a few ways to look at this question. If we are trying to figure out which sport takes the greatest athleticism to compete in, then decathlon or cross fit stand out. If we are asking which sport do the best athletes play, then I would say domestically it is probably basketball. Globally, it is probably soccer. In other words, LeBron, Kobe or Neymar could have been professional athletes in other areas had they chosen that path. The athleticism the professional athletes in the NBA and the highest levels of soccer show is incredible, IMO.
