What is the easiest sport for my son to go pro in?
rcbeatty asked:
I grew up a as a very talented all around athlete. I lettered in two sports and could have easily done the same in a third or 4 th sport. In these two sports I even was offered scholarships that I didn’t take advantage of. Because I was so diverse and played the most popular sports that everybody played in, the competition was and still is fierce and I probably never could have gone pro, even if I stuck out the scholarships. I often wonder if I could have been a pro with my athletic gift if I would have concentrated on like tennis, golf, or soccer. At my school, mostly the nerdier kids that couldn’t excel in the other sports played these sports. Because of my asumptions I have always wondered if this is really true, and that maybe I should have my sons get into these sports that may have an easier road to the pros. So is there a sport that is easiest to become a pro in?

im not moaning but are you sure your son wants to play sports because there might be something else he wants to do but i would say tennis but pushing him to enjoy it will only make him **** it more if he doesnt like the sport

The easiest sport to turn professional in would be baseball. There are more professional teams in baseball than any other sport in North America.
Of course, many of them are minor-league teams, but they’re still pro.
If your son is a left-hander, baseball is even more attractive. Left-handed pitchers and left-handed batters have an even better chance of cracking a major-league roster than their righty counterparts.
With baseball being a non-contact (mostly) sport, your son would have a better chance at a longer career, and greater earnings potential.
Good luck to him.
