Why are we bad at sports?

I assume it's because my sensory motor skills are crap

I was mocked by a teacher thirty years ago for being "afraid of the ball" (in rugby). It only now occurs to me, after all this time, that he was fat and I could have outwalked him running (and still could, now that I'm the age he was then). What an enviably sporty fellow.

i'm pretty athletic actually and while not graceful in the least, i can have really great balance. and i can be tireless.
the thing is i suck at the whole "team mentality" thing. the sunlight makes me blind, and i just get confused so easy. i can only focus on one thing at a time...i cant predict the other team very well, or know who to pass to, or ever remember the rules. i'm ok at defense in soccer, though. i just make sure no matter what, i keep the ball away . so i can focus on one thing. .
