I love alot of sports and am good at most of them but i dont know which to train. I like boxing and basketball best, but im best at soccer. they took out baseball so thats not an option. i could probably do swimming or track. btw im athletic so i can train and get talent behind them all.

You need to devote yourself entirely to whichever sport you are best at, and you'll need to have natural talent for it (this is not something you can acquire). Then, you'll need to get noticed. To do this, you'll need a coach and you'll need to be on a team. To truly stick out, you need to be better than almost everyone else, and this will attract the attention of talent scouts. These scouts can help place you on better teams at a more national level, which can then get you sponsors (and sponsors are key to succeeding). Be aware that training for the Olympics is expensive and time-consuming, and there are actually hundreds upon hundreds of very talented people who will never go to the Olympics simply because they cannot afford training or did not start early enough in their lives (most Olympians today actually have their parents to thank for their success, because their parents started them in a specific sport when they were young). You'll go through countless competitions before you are even considered to compete for a spot on the Olympic team. You'll also have to prove that you are among the best of the best in the entire nation, which is by no means an easy feat.





Getting in the Olympics is a mix of luck, talent and dedication. Good luck to you!

You should pratcise the sport you love the most. Then train and train and train. Then and only then should you think about the olympics.

you wont be in the olympics. you cant even figure out what sport you want to do, much less how to train for it.
