[x] chess. you gotta start when you're super young. you typically have to be a master (top 1% in the world) before you're 20, then study 5h+/day. and tournaments are brutal. sitting for 6 hours trying not to lose your concentration.
Chess is not a sport. It is an activity that takes skill and relies on competition, but it is not a sport because it does not feature displays of athleticism.
