every sport requires talent and natural
ability but some positions are much more
difficult than others these athletes
give everything they have so they can
represent the United States in
international water polo welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 hardest
positions in sports that puck could not
have gone in unless Anderson put it in
that was an impossible angle to score
for this list we’re focusing on the
positions from a variety of sports that
are toughest to play from both a
physical and technical standpoint
opportunity in front shot stays by bet
number 10 center basketball O’Neal what
support takes it
some people believe that basketball
isn’t a physical game but anyone who’s
ever played the center position will say
otherwise you see what 4G give it off
there
also known as the five centers require
height weight and strength in order to
be successful they’re responsible for
posting up down low under the basket and
they take a lot of physical contact from
defenders when you try for the front you
got a baby
they also need to be able to defend the
rim on the defensive end
while having the stamina to run up and
down the court with the smaller quicker
players in short it’s tough for a team
to succeed without a talented big man
number nine wicket keeper cricket hit
him up oh that’s a terrific piece of
work by matthew white fielding the ball
and cricket is incredibly difficult but
no one has a tougher than the wicket
keeper because the idea is you stay down
as low as you can till the ball bounces
and then you come up with the bounce
this player stands behind the wicket and
is responsible for catching any ball
that is nicked the batsman’s bat and for
preventing runs being scored by stopping
the ball if it gets by the batsman not
only that the wicket keeper may also be
tapped to bowl making him the
Renaissance man on the team as well this
is one of the more physically demanding
positions in the sport as evidenced by
the fact that the wicket keeper is the
only player on the field who can wear
leg guards and gloves this position
requires incredible reflexes and a whole
lot of courage because mass has got to
go
number eight catcher baseball there he
goes and Polina promised these sticking
with a similar theme the catcher is
responsible for catching the pitches
delivered by the pitcher
what makes this position so tough is the
number of different responsibilities
that come with it
for example the catcher typically calls
the game which means he has to know each
batter strengths and weaknesses to call
the right pitches at the right time he’s
responsible for preventing baserunners
from stealing bases meaning he has to
have a strong arm and he typically
aligns the defensive fielders oh and he
also has to catch a 100 mile-per-hour
fastball
while remaining in a crouched position
for nine innings number seven all
positions water polo one time at 2
meters so SC had to go the long way
around the horn while there are several
different positions in water polo we’ve
included all water polo players for the
number 7 spot on our list these players
need to be exceptional swimmers as they
play in a deep pool that limits or
prevents them from standing as such they
also need excellent stamina to be able
to swim constantly they also need to be
coordinated enough to catch and shoot
the ball with just one hand and although
you may not be able to see it there is a
lot of physical contact that happens
above and below the water really inside
the neck a seasoned
their first goal in our number six
goalie lacrosse playing goalie seems
easy enough
all you do is keep the ball out of the
net while it may be simple it definitely
isn’t easy
lacrosse goalies need to be fearless and
not only because professional lacrosse
players can shoot the ball at over 100
miles per hour they also must have
lightning-fast reflexes and short
memories since many lacrosse games and
with a ton of goal scored to succeed
it’s best to forget these as quickly as
possible and focus on your next move
finally lacrosse goalies have a larger
cross on their stick which makes it
easier to stop the ball but makes it
much harder to pass the ball to players
on their team I speed to Crowley who
gets underneath say number five
scrum-half
rugby when you just want to get in there
and get it away it’s about getting the
ball from A to B as quick as you can
rugby is one of the most physically
demanding sports there is so all players
on the field need physical strength and
a lot of toughness and durability the
scrum-half
or halfback however needs to be able to
control the game as well they’re
typically the first person to receive
the ball from the dummy half and thus
must make the important decision on
which way to lead the attack the
scrum-half needs to be one of the most
reliable players on the team who knows
the ins and outs of their squad’s
attacks structure the guards are eyes
are off I know I can attack him if he’s
on me and I’ve got to use it I got using
my father’s got use of big guys around
the corner number four
pitcher baseball too to swallow misty
struck them out the physical
requirements of pitching alone make it
one of the most difficult positions in
sports while they aren’t getting tackled
the repeated throwing motion the pitcher
makes puts a significant amount of
strain on their arm and elbow
particularly the ones who throw breaking
pitches
in fact one study showed that the
shoulder rotation in pitching is the
fastest motion of any human activity
pitchers also need to have tremendous
mental toughness when they screw up
everyone in the stadium and watching on
TV knows it we feel with the ball cast
Uribe to an empty third base another
error number three quarterback American
football Randy will they hit you to
throw to the left and it’s similar to
pitching throwing a football puts a
tremendous amount of stress on the arm
quarterbacks have to deal with a lot
more than that however first they need
to be able to memorize the entire
playbook and know the responsibilities
of each player on the offense
they must also accurately read defenses
and breakdown holes and coverage then
they have to deliver accurate passes
that put their receivers in position to
make plays after the catch to top it off
they have to do all of this while
several defenders are coming for them at
full speed as brady again under attack
steps out of it and is able to get a tap
who’s getting him in field goal range
number two goalie hockey
hockey goalies are known for being well
a little quirky to put it nicely but can
you blame them they have to put their
bodies in front of 100 mile-per-hour
slap shots and only in the last few
decades have they started wearing masks
of course they also have to be able to
skate and have the durability to stop
30-plus shots a game on top of that they
are typically the target of opposing
teams fans and if they let in a weak
goal they will immediately hear about it
before we unveil our number-one pick
here are some honorable mentions
Vidal has gone for the shots Wow not
only is he gone for it
he’s absolutely nailed it that’s the
really fast ball – Courtney laws he
beats his man into the air and he
watched the ball in his hands before the
defense Rhea lutely throws an 18-second
Thomas with a second intersection in two
games number one goalkeeper football
great save by Noah and what a vital save
it was sure soccer goalkeepers only face
a handful of shots each game they are
responsible for defending an 8 by 24
foot net however which would be hard to
defend for someone like Shaq let alone a
regular-sized human to be Chobot just
get to it you won’t see them wearing any
protective gear despite the fact the
players can kick the ball as fast as 70
miles per hour plus they are also
responsible for organizing their team’s
defense due to the fact that they can
see the entire field and if they let in
a bad goal you can almost guarantee they
will spend years on the blooper reel
whoops-a-daisy
misjudged it that has to be the worst
mistake I’ve ever seen do you agree with
