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!
it depends on the sport you’re looking at… for gymnastics or swimming, you’ve missed the boat by about 20 years. but Gina Davis picked up archery in her 30’s and came within sight of the Olympics after a couple of years
