I could probably still do a 100m in 15s. I don't really have much experience with the others. I have gotten strikes before, but I wouldn't count on it.

I've done 5 and 6 before.

I could maybe do 1 and 2 if I got lucky. Probably not though.

I can do:

3 probably, because I've kicked a pen from further than that playing rugby at school.

4 definitely, because I've done it.

5 definitely, because I've done it.

Haven't tried the others.

Of the things on the list, I've done 4 of them within the last 5 years, so I'm confident I could do them again.

1.) Hitting a 70 mph fastball out of the infield in 10 pitches
2.) Shoot and make a free throw, a 2pt Shot, and a 3pt shot in basketball. No one guarding you in 5 attempts for each.
3.) Kick a 25-yard field goal in 10 attempts
5.) Get two bowling strikes in 10 attempts

I'm certain I could do #2, feel pretty confident about #7, and think I'm capable of #5 but would probably need some luck. Never tried a field goal so I don't know about that one, the other two I'm sure I couldn't do.

There is a decent chance I could get 2 strikes in bowling in ten tries. I know I have done it before, but I am not sure if I could consistently do it.

The basketball one I might have a chance with. I remember being decent in gym back in high school. But it has been like 15 years since I touched a basketball

I do feel like I have no chance on surfing since I have never tried it, and only seen the ocean twice. The football one also would be bad since I never tried kicking it before

I feel confident in every one of them but #3 and #7. I played baseball and basketball in high school and with 10 attempts I could still do it. Also have surfed before.

never played soccer but I feel like theres a lot of guess work by the goalie on penalty kicks. If youre giving me 10 tries the goalie is bound to guess wrong once.

#1 probably. I can still hit pretty well at batting cages
#2 pretty likely. I shoot like im 10 but that works fine if no one is guarding me
#5 possible I've done it, but idk if I could on command

The rest I dont think I have a shot at all

Yes to 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6
No idea about #7, I just have no real frame of reference for that - I never ran track and can't say I've ever timed my sprint.
Highly doubt I could get one in past a professional goalie without getting a bit lucky.

All except the surfboard one probably.

70 mph pitches arent very fast.
Five chances each is pretty good breathing room for taking shots. The three might be tricky.
I wasnt a kicker in high school or college, but I fooled around enough with that to know that ten chances is plenty.
Penalty kicks are basically a crapshoot, so ten chances should be plenty.
I bowl a few times a year and can pretty confidently guarantee at least two strikes.
15 seconds is plenty of time, even though Im much more of an endurance/long-distance runner than than a sprinter.

I have never tried surfing and am going to assume its hard enough to not luck into being decent at that immediately.

Probably 2. I'm fairly certain I could do #2. And I love bowling and go all the time, so I can absolutely do #5.

The rest though, I'm not sure about. Haven't had to run 100m since PE class (18 years ago) and the rest I've never done.

Its a decent speed. Its slower than what a pro player could hit but its faster than what a normal person could hit.

When i go to the cages i warm up on 40 and i see people struggle all the time on those.

I play baseball and softball pretty regularly and go to the cages fairly often as well. That wouldnt be an issue for me.

About the only thing I absolutely guarantee I can't do is stand on the surfboard. Scoring a pen against a professional keeper is trickier than it sounds, but I might be able to pull it off once. The rest are pretty straightforward.

70 mph is fast in little league because of the distance. 70 mph at middle school and up distance from to the mound looks like batting practice.

Ive done a few of them already in my life. The penalty kick is interesting, I got to imagine youll get lucky at least one time as long as you can hit it on target with at least some level of power. I feel like Id fail at the 100m Im pretty slow.

I know I can make solid contact in a batting cage at 80mph so I should be able to do 70. Ive surfed before, kicked a FG in high school football practice, done the basketball thing, and have gotten multiple strikes in a bowling game. Thing is I dont think I could do these things on command whenever I wanted.

A good one to add is getting a birdie on an average par 4 golf hole given 10 attempts.

Yeah I think people underestimate 70 mph. I remember some guys here thinking they could actually get a hit off Shohei Ohtani lol

And even worse, it wasnt just a regular at bat. There were still fielders, Ohtani couldnt walk you, and getting hit by him did nothing. Meaning he could fucking whip that ball with no shits given in regards to accuracy, and if you get hit, oh well lol

Why the TC decided to make it like that was beyond me

I used to be a semi professional bowler when I was younger so I've done 5. That said, I haven't been able to replicate it in years as I have issues holding a 5 pin bowling ball. After about 2 games my fingers start to blister due to how hard I'm holding the ball. It's part of my recent weight loss routine though. I get about 7 games in an hour for 10 bucks CAD, which honestly isn't bad. I just need bowling tape or a modified bowling glove.

So all in all, 2 and 5. Maybe 4

Yeah I think people underestimate 70 mph.

70 should be realistic for a challenge though.

I didnt want to make it a cake walk. I think most people can hit a free throw too but i dont think most people can hit a 3 as easy.

70 i feel is right around the point where a normal person might be able to do with little practice but someone with some skill should be able to do it.

When you know the speed and the type of pitch then its just a matter of knowing the timing.

3 since I can kick things pretty straight.
6 because I have good balance and sea legs.

The rest aside from the sprint require actually having practice at a specific sport and are as much a test of sporting skill in that particular sport as they are any indication of being athletic. i.e. if you gave me a magic bat whose magic only guarantees I hit the ball, I can definitely do number 1. Because I have basically no practice at hitting balls with sticks.

  3. Im kicking that field goal.
  4. Doubt Id make the penalty kick.
  5. Ill get at least 4 strikes in 10 attempts.
  6. I used to be a surfer. Aced.
  7. Probably too slow for the dash.

The average pitch speed when I was 13 was around 72 and I batted .358 - which includes contact for an out bringing that average down.
It ain't that fast. Once again, I was 13.

I ended up being a tennis player - my serve by the time I was 17 was around ~95 and the low seeded player on the team could stick out the racquet and get it back over the net every once and a while.

Its not supposed to be impossible things. My main sport i played was basketball growing up. I could do #2 easily but i might struggle kicking a field goal and im awful at bowling.

Its how many of these can you do and not how many of these things are you great at.

Once upon a time, I could hit that fastball. No way right now. And I have no idea if I could do the surfboard, so Im gonna need to lean towards No on that one.
