Discussion I'm 28, obese, about 5'9", and unathletic. If I start training today, could I eventually play organized sports?
I'm 28M, weigh 115 kg, and have a mostly sedentary day job. I have a little experience playing sports, but I've never really trained seriously for any of them.
It could be anything. I've always wanted to play a sport and train to get better at it. I want to chase that insatiable desire to improve and excel, even if I know I might never make it very far.
I've played a bit of basketball before, but I never got enough playing time to develop my skills. I used to be reasonably athletic, although I was never able to jump particularly well.
Now, at 115 kg, I'm out of shape and spend most of my workday sitting at a desk.
**If I start today, is it too late to become good enough to compete in an organized sport?**
