The sports listed one through four also represents the sports that require the most mental toughness as well. The skill to disregard what has happened in the past and to live in the moment and to accomplish the task at hand with a sense of urgency.

Baseball, Tennis and Golf are sports that require a great deal of hand and eye coordination and mental toughness, but don’t translate well to the more physically demanding sports mentioned above. Some might even assume that baseball needs to be on the above list.

The fact of the matter is if I was a baseball player it probably would be there.

Despite the fact that several athletes that play football, basketball and soccer more than likely played baseball as a youth. Sports helps in the development of a child, teaches teamwork, camaraderie, sharing, working in a group setting to accomplish a common goal.

I feel that the sport that has the best athletes is Football— American Football.

I have a great deal of respect for Boxing, Cycling and soccer, and the skill and athleticism it takes to participate in these sports. I’ve also taken into account that there are no timeouts in these sports and that you are in constant motion which is impressive.
