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!
Marathon running.
A lot of the sports you named are team based and needed to have been pursued at a grassroots level from a young age to ascend up the professional ladder. Marathon doesn’t need that, as most marathons are open to literally everyone for you to get started, and you dont need specialist equipment, facilities or team to train.
