What is the toughest position to play in sports?

I think it's the goalie in soccer.  That's a fairly big net for one man to cover.  It amazes me how well they do it.

When the ball's on your side, don't let it hit the ground and when you hit it to the other side, hit it hard and make sure it goes inbounds where no one on the other team is able to return it.  That's about it.

Like all sports, speed teamwork good defense.\n\nFor this sport using your body to protect the ball seems necessary when in close quarters.

Frankly, I think it rolls like this:\n\n- Golf. By FAR the hardest game to master. This isn't to say it's the toughest because it's not THAT physically demanding, but it involves precise movements and techniques to perfect a swing, read a green, putt with acccuracy...\n\n- Baseball. For some of the same reasons. Pefecting a swing is one of the hardest things there is to master in sports...Learning how to throw a ball that moves in various directions as well as over 90 MPH...It takes great coordination and vision.\n\n- Hockey. Skating with all the equipment that players wear, learning how to control and pass a puck that moves well over 100 MPH, while trying to avoid collisions...\n\n- Football. Since there are so many different positions all that required different skills, no one player has to master every phase...Placekickers and punters, long snappers, etc. This is game everyone can play, some better than others. But physically, this can be the hardest game to play due to the contact which is on EVERY PLAY..\n\nBasketball. Whatta ya need to play? Sneakers, shorts, a ball and a hoop...you may suck and not able to shoot worth a damn, but if you're tall and jump a little, you've made the team...

Anywhere if you have a net and a ball

yea yea its intense midfield all out. Attack is for lazy stickhandlers, long pole is for big guys, but all take great skill to be good. Lacrosse is great.

Baseball is the most difficult sport because of how difficult it is to hit a baseball. I'm not sure of how many other sports there are where 30% success rate makes you an all-star player.\nBaseball is also very fatguing in that the season is so long that it is difficult to stay healthy for such a long time.

You best bet would be: don't ever get close to the ball. Seriously, don't play afraid thinking about an injury. I played well into my fifties ( and many tough games ) and I suffered few injuries, and all of them minors. Go for the ball with confidence. If you are tentative,it is worse.

It depends - are you relatively young and learning the game, or older and playing a casual game?  If you're just learning, you should try every position they'll let you play, so you can learn where you'll be best.  Otherwise, right field like the other folks suggest.

Without seeing you play, or perform even drills it is impossible for anybody on this board to tell you what position that you would be best suited to play. Alot would also depend on the type of defense your team plays. I you in an even front (4-3, 4-4, or even 6-2) or do you play an odd front (3-4, 5-2, or even 5-3). Does your team play an attacking 1 gap style or a more read and react 2 ga pstyle. \n\nWe don't know how strong or quick you are. We don't know the leve lof competion or size of the players in your league and team. On all but the biggest of HS football programs, 6 ft , 230 lbs is large enough to play Defensive line, OL or LB. \n\nBe aggressive, continue to work out, and havew faith that your coaching staff will put you in the best position to succeed and have your team succeed.

Boobs! It's awkward though because we have a good chance of getting called on a hand ball but if we don't protect 'em it's REALLY painful.

linebacker is a tough position its all about making reads you need to pick up on stuff like how the guard is blocking the play which side of the offense is the strenghth, how many backs are in the backfield, and you need to be able to pick up on wing backs.  Also once you recognize this you need to make calls to let the line know everything you know.  also on run plays you need to be able to fill up holes.  But i would still say go for it i played it through high school and had a great time.  YOU JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING ON THE FIELD BECAUSE ITS TOUGH TO PLAY IF YOU SRE CONFUSED OR GUESSING AT WHAT PLAY THEY ARE RUNNING

the hardest rule in soccer to explain

Number one defense. Defense is the most consistent. If you always play good defense you keep yourself in games even if your offense is off. That's why the best SuperBowl champs have great defenses.

Defense is all in effort, don't give up on any play! Other than that stay low and on your toes and keep your feet moving.
