What’s a sport you thought you would be good at until you actually tried it and found out that you suck at it?

Was there a sport where before you tried it you were like 'i can do that!' and then you tried it you just completely sucked? opposite of @ElenaLena's question hehe :P

Ehm I dunno if I've had this experience tbh. But I have had the experience of being good at something in the past and thinking I could do it and then I sucked at it. Like table tennis and climbing are the biggest ones I think. Well I'm not terrible at climbing but compared to how good I was as a kid I am terrible now. And table tennis I used to be good and now I'm a complete beginner again.

Basketball. I can dribble and pass well, but when it comes to shooting I'm a brick layer.

Figure skating. I started very young but stuck with it for a long time. I skate less frequently now, but I always enjoy it.

Maybe canoeing?

For me it was surfing 🏄‍♀️

I’m super confident on a tennis court, so I assumed board sports would come naturally. First time I tried surfing, I could barely even stand up. Constant wipeouts, swallowing half the ocean, zero balance. Looked way cooler in my head than in reality. Massive respect for surfers now 😅

I was good at motorcross and was No.1 in the world a video game for a few years if that is a sport. But I pretty much suck at all that now that i'm getting older.

sounds like me with engineering. I am excellent at all maths and science except that. I have never been as bad at anything in my whole life.
