Rugby. Speed, strength, size, amazing cardio, hand eye coordination. This sport has it all.

In the words of kenny powers "I play real sports - not trying to be the best at exercising"

3. Olympic weightlifters

Maybe not the most athletic "overall" but they have some great conditioning for their sport. Just do some cleans or what ever and you know. And weightlifters don't mess around. It's hardcore training and they do every single thing that is marked in their program. Hockey players for example seem like amateurs compared to them.

the most skilfull mix of hand and foot skills, catch, tackle, sprint, endurance and 1 on 1 physical prowess is undoubtedly AFL Rules Football.

A basketballer wont cut it as they have no foot skills or tackle and man on man, Rugby they dont use foot or hands, NFL they can even play a game without touching the ball, and even the running positions dont cover more than a few miles per game, soccer they dont use their hands or anythig BUT their feet, and are built like baby birds, baseball, well, thats a past-time like cricket...

the only thing that comes close to AFL football is gaelic football.

if you've never seen it then youtube it. many guys cover over 15 miles per game, can sprint a 100m in 11s or less, can bench 300, run a 4:05 mile, kick the ball 60m, handball and kick with both hands and both feet, pass a ball 50m to a running team-mate and hit them "laces out" at full stretch, crash a pack, break a tackle, and climb an opposition's back to take a mark (catch) some 10 ft off the ground...then come back and do it the next week.

Rugby League (get that RaRa rugby crap out of here) - extremely fast paced, full on tackling, very skillful game if you ask me.

I train for a water sport which is Outrigging, open ocean stuff. It's a hard sport and can take a lot out of you but i think contact sports with teams are for better athletes. I just prefer things where i can push myself to limits and smash myself up like previously powerlifting and now outrigging.

And they can do triple backflips and bench 500.
