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!
You shouldn’t start playing sports specifically because you want to turn pro. It’s not like other careers, you have to actually be the elite amongst talented members of your field and it takes years of committed practice every single day to even get a shot at an opportunity to turn pro. If you feel passion for sport and want to start competing in athletic activities, bodybuilding would be the most accessible to turn “pro” after competing as an amateur.
