Take up a sport! I “sucked” at sports when I was at school, or at least that’s what the dynamics of school sports taught me. Turned out to be wrong, and actually it’s a just a matter of investing the time and effort to get good at something.

There’s a sport out there for every body-type, and quite simply the less athletically gifted you are the more you can gravitate towards “skill” sports where that matters a lot less.

The great thing about most sports is that they also come with a social scene that you can get involved in, and it becomes a whole enjoyable lifestyle. I also love the fact that sport is completely measurable compared to working life. Did I do a good job at work? Who’s to say, you’d probably need to wait 5 years to see the actual outcome, and it would be a matter of opinion. In most sports the result is clear, measurable and final. You did or you did not. End of story. I find it very satisfying.
