Most Difficult Positions In Sports?

[MAD]

Which is the most difficult position to play in each of the team sport?

 

[05_never_again]

Football - QB (although purely from a physical standpoint it might be CB)
Hockey - goalie, although I think you could also argue center
Basketball - point guard
Baseball - catcher

 

[RollinVol]

Football- Qb
Hockey- Goalie
Basketball- Center,
Baseball- Pitcher, throwing a ball at a small rectangle consistently

QB

 

[volfanbill]

Football: Center
Basketball: 3 (maybe in today's world the 4). have to have a complete game
Baseball: SS

It's kind of a weird question to ask what is the hardest because ultimately you should be judged vs. your peers who play the same position. Even though it's hard to defend a PK, other goalies aren't stopping them either and you're graded accordingly.

Most complicated position has got to be QB.

What requires the most skill? PG?

Sure, Qb is a complicated position, requiring special physical and mental attributes ...

... but I opine the most difficult position to play well is cornerback ... gotta cover well, and gotta play the run wide, and quickly judge shifting priorities ... and when a play goes badly, the whole world is pointing at you ... but gotta shake it off and be ready for the next play.

Catcher. Wearing all the gear and crouching 9 innings , especially in July and August. Plus, taking a beating from the foul tips

Left out.
Any sport

The most physically demanding sport is professional motocross

Soccer and lacrosse the keeper.

You can make great saves all day but you'll still get blamed for the one non stop.

Center on the OL.

You have to snap it perfectly 70 times a game while snapping your head up only to see a 330 lb DT/NT trying to run you over. On top of that...oh just point out things all over the field and generally be the brain of the offense.

And your knees are probably shot later in life.
