Badmiton
provided the economic status... sailing
Curling.
badminton i would think you have to start young so thats out, im not a millionaire so sailings out, and curling is out on account that even if i was the best in the world it means nothing.
i was thinking about rowing or golf?
way too late for golf and way too much competition

It's badminton
Racewalk
If that proves to be too tough then triathlon
Larry Nelson took up golf at 21
i feel badminton is like tennis though, you need to start from a young age, no tennis player starts when they are 22.
let me rephrase, what will be the easiest sport for me, a 22 year old, to go pro in taking into account my 47.2 speed. also dont say track because too much drugs.
im not gay so racewalk is out. i was thinking it might be too late for golf however i could work at it like 8 hours a day
If you haven't already made it, than there is no sport that you will be able to make living at. I hope you're trolling, don't you realize how much competition there is to make it in sports? Better finish that degree...and that get a graduate degree. Takes a lot of work to get ahead in this world.
i dont believe that, there were definatly athletes that were semi elite at one sport and then switched and become pro at another later in life (late 20's) obviously its not probable but its possible
Poker
duathlon
do rowing, mid-d guys are the best rowers because they have endurance and are strong. You could be very good assuming that you are of a strong stature but not fat being a 47 and 151 guy.
thanks, yeah thats kind of what i was thinking, you need good upper body strength and endurance
Rowing is NOT about upper body. It's something like 70-80% legs, dude. That's where all the push comes from and you finish with your upper body.
I hope you're tall and light because that's rowing stature.
Good luck with the switch to Crew.
im 6'6 and very light
There you go. Some rowing coach is sopping his pants right now just thinking about you.
