Re: Sports Noobs against Pros - spawned from tdarko\'s tennis thread
I'm an athletic dude but not a professional sportsman.
I wouldn't be able to:
score a point in a one on one match against an NBA player
hit a fair ball coming 90+mph (75-80 straight I can hit, but 90 with movement or 80 curve I have no chance).
score a goal against a goalie
win a hole against a golfer
not die playing football
come close to beating a swimmer or track/field athlete
Basically, an untrained amateur has no chance to beat a pro in any sport I can think of.
Maybe if you call competitive eating a sport, the amateur might have a shot.
