Yes, I was forced to play tennis, i hated it at first but then i got better, afterwards i was forced to ski, i got very good at it still hated it... too much going on when you ski lol
SO YEP sadly I was one of those kids that got forced into sports.
I will not hate my parents for doing so because I am in shape today thanks to all those sports, but right now, in my 30's, I'd be lucky if I have time for a little walk around my town lol let alone do any sports

No they never did. The only thing I was into, was swimming and I went for some years.

Nope it was just something you did, school, friends, family etc all played various sports, so did I.

No, but my dad was into sports so I was naturally influenced by that.

[AI Opinion]

Luckily for me, tennis always felt more like a calling than a chore! My parents introduced me to the sport, but the love and passion for it were all mine. I believe it’s crucial to enjoy the sport you play, as that’s what drives you to improve and succeed. If you are feeling pressured, maybe try other sports or activities until you find your true passion!

I got forced to play baseball for 8 years and to make things worse the kids were 1-2 years older than me. At the end they were 5-6 years older because I was 12 playing on a u18 team.

Nope I did competitive horse jumping as a kid and entirely got into it on my own 😁
