One Opinion: BaseballThe question is this: What is the hardest sport to master? Not what the hardest sport to play is, what sport takes the most endurance, or what sport is physically demanding. Baseball is, by far, the hardest sport to master. Rarely do the same players stay good throughout their career, rarely do the same teams get to the World Series year after year, and rarely do players keep their stats up. Their are very, very, very few that can do so, and those players have either taken steroids or are the best baseball players in the world.

The pitching aspect requires pitchers to throw 3-5 different pitches about 100+ times a game to guys they have never seen before in their life. The odds of them getting all of the players out one game is very rare; they will give up a run or two. To do that for an entire season.....impossible. An average pitcher will have 7-13 bad games a year. Not to mention they have to do this for years and years.

From the batting aspect, you have to try to hit a round object (a ball) with another round object (the bat) in which the round object is coming at you between 85-100 mph. Did I mention that the ball can curve, drop out of nowhere, run into you, and so on? The number of different pitches are amazingly effective. You haven't even seen most of these pitchers, and you have 3 chances (strikes) to hit the ball while figuring out the pitcher while trying to hit a round object with a round object while trying to see where the ball is going and how fast it is going. Great players only hit 30% of these balls. Not many players do that. Do this for an entire season for many, many years.

Another Opinion: GymnasticsGymnastics is the hardest sport to master. Are you judged in other sports? Are you scored? Do you have to flip on six inches of wood and not fall off when you land and perfect the flip? Not in any other sport. This sport requires everything. Endurance, speed, strength, agility, flexibility, and all of the above. But the thing that makes us gymnasts so amazing is how much we work. Some people think that we never practice because we're girls and we don't work because we're girls. That's not true. We work twice as hard as any man or woman in any other sport. ESPN says that boxing is the hardest but they're judging on skills and not rating the skills themselves. They rated gymnastics way to low on strength and everything but flexibility which got a ten the highest score. Flexibility is the absolute hardest skill to master. If you are as flexible as me and other gymnasts you can do a back bend with your hands and feat touching as well as other harder skills. If you trust a gymnast yourself you'll take it from someone who has tried almost every other sport though gymnastics is definitely the hardest, most graceful, and most beautiful sport in every way. It's only that we are under estimated and should be known for our hard work that makes me so upset. If you want to find out for yourself, take gymnastics. See how well you really do and what you think. When you try you'll agree with me. Take it from someone who knows.

Another Opinion: Sailing
Sailing is the most challenging sport. For a start there is 8 different things to change that make the boat go faster, these have to be changed due to wind strength and the point of sailing you are on, all these things make you go faster and you have to tweek them constantly. Then you have the starts and your aim is to be going as fast as possible over the line just as the hooter goes and also be the windward boat. this takes years and years to master. Then there are the tactics of going upwind. you have to try and point as high as possible using wind shifts and wind bends this takes years to master. Then there is tacking and Gibing this can create immense speed and is a great skill in its self this also takes years to maser. Then there is rounding marks this is like going round corners in a racing car it is incredibly important and also doing this you have to altar the 8 different variables as quick as possible. There is also fitness when going upwind in heavy wind your quads and stomach muscles ache like hell after about 10 minutes if hiking properly, also to change the 8 variables it takes immense strength and to work the main sheet. There are also many other tactics and skills to master like working the boat over waves, spinnaker work the list goes on and on.

Another Opinion: SwimmingYou need technique and strength. Races lating up to 1500m and doing the different strokes. Butterfly, easily the hardest.
You train 7k+ a session, people doing 2 hours a session, morning and afternoon. So that can be 14 sessions a week. 28 hours, so about 100km a week.

It requires perfect technique and stamina. Look it up. It requires every part of your body to be used, perfectly.

Ball sports don't require much training or skill. I'm sorry, but this is true. No two ways around it. Your good, or you can become good by going to the park 2 days a week. With swimming, it is constant training and work.

In baseball you have a baseball coming at you at over 90 mph and you have a 0.4 sec. to

1.)See the ball

2.)Choose to swing or not

3.)Swing, not to mention they deal with curveballs, changeups, splitters, sinkers, knuckleballs, ect... When on base you have to watch the pitchers leg, and you have to lead off, you can easily get caught off guard and picked off by a pitcher, then if the ball is hit towards you while your running and its coming 100 mph you have to dodge it or else your out, THEN you have to out run people who throw cannons.

Each base is 30 yards away from each other, running all the way around is 120 yards, EXACTLY how long a American football field is, touchdown end to touchdown end.

Also when a ball is hit at you coming 100+ mph, with random hops, curves, and just secondary bounce speed up (where it bounces then speeds up.)

Then!! Making a good throw not making the person come off the base they are throwing to, also while getting the ball you think of a backup plan if the person is already on base. Protecting your balls is crucial, your balls CAN EXPLODE WHEN HIT IF NO CUP IS ON, it happened when I was in 8th grade to a kid on the other team, IT IS POSSIBLE, you can get teeth knocked out, broken jaw/cheek/eyebrow/nose, and even die when hit in the head with a baseball going... over 100 mph, luckily we put people out there who know what they are doing so we don't have many deaths, I mean I broke my sisters nose with a baseball in 8th grade and I lobbed it, maybe not even 15 mph what if it was 100mph!

Its Gotta be Wrestling. You have to have the ability to take your opponent and make it so hes unable to fight back. In other Sports you have time to rest. But in Wrestling you go 6 minutes straight or until your so worn out you have to completely give up and let the other guy pin you. Also its an easy sport to be injured in. Your opponent gets tons of opportunity's in a match to try and break one of your bones. Also its all up to you. In other sports you have teammates to play the game with you. But, in wrestling, its all up to you and you have no backup if you get injured you just have to keep fighting. So if u think that a sport where you have no one to trust but yourself, against a guy that has the ability to try and destroy you and not get in trouble and have to find away to get a guy that is trying to basically kill you and get him up in the air and throw him back down and find a way to roll him on to his back and keep him there is easy then you need to get your head checked. And I'm not talking about that fake WWE and TNA stuff I'm talking about the real, tough, wrestling. No offense to any basketball players out there but, Basketball players play with balls. Wrestlers have them

Have you ever trusted a 1000+ lbs. animal to take you over something the size of an SUV? Trusted your life with something that has mind of it's own? Riding is the hardest sport. If you show, you have to get up at 3 in the morning, and you won't sit down for probably 12 more hours. It takes dedication, and lots of hard work.

That's based on personal opinion. Some people say one sport is harder than the other. Others say otherwise. Two sports that I think are very tough and physically straining are football and Rugby. Another hard sport to play though in terms of accuracy and endurance would be baseball.

There really is no legit answer on how you can decide which sport is "the hardest". Every sport has it's ups and downs.

To an extent every sport can be considered "hard" or tiring if i may. Going Pro for example isn't easy in any sport! You literally need to get the sport down to a science and work hard and or train hard to become one of the best out there! It's a really hard question to answer!

The best i could give you is that all sports are hard to some extent because in reality there will always be someone out there better than you or giving you competition!

Swimming is the hardest sport. You do more kicks than a soccer player, more flips than a cheerleader, more sets than a volleyball player, and more yards than a football player.
