I’ve always been drawn to activities that require focus and precision, like audio engineering and rock climbing, so I figured sports would be a natural fit. But I’m finding there are some curveballs I didn’t anticipate. For example, how do you manage the mental side when progress feels slow, or when you’re used to excelling in other areas? And what about balancing the physical demands with a busy schedule? I’d love to hear what surprised you when you first got into sports and how you handled it.
