Hello, everyone!
I’m 26 years old from London and extremely fit, and I’m eager to transition into a professional athletic career. I have a passion for sports, literally all of them, and am open to exploring different options. I’m looking for guidance on any sports that have opportunities/ trouts for someone my age.
Could anyone share insights on how to get started, potential pathways to going pro, or specific sports that might be more welcoming to latecomers? Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated!
Or do I need to contact every sports governing body directly? I’ll literally play any sport, baseball, dodgeball, hockey, tennis, just need an opportunity.
Thank you!
Please don’t be discouraged by the negative responses on here. Late bloomers can and do happen in many sports. Anja Culling is a great example.

Also Georgia Bell went from doing park runs in 2022 to being in the Olympic 1500m final 2 years later.
Go for it!
