What is the most difficult position in any sport? I thought

QB gets my vote. There's just so much you need to know and do before a play even begins, let alone executing the play itself. On top of that you're pretty much forced to be the leader and icon of the team.

The Designated Half-Time Blowie Boy

Playing QB for the Browns. It's so difficult that nobody has ever done it successfully

false holding box to box central trequartista 11

No order.

Starting pitcher (cricket bowlers are only allowed 6 bowls until relieved)
QB
Goalie in any of the goal sports (soccer, hockey, Lacrosse)
Field goal kicker. Considered a non-football position, but to come in cold, with the game on the line, to nail a 50 yarder has to be hard as fuck.
Closing pitcher. Same dynamic as above.
Basketball point guard
Cricket batter who is the anchor of the lineup. Has similar stress as a starting pitcher.

for cricket it's the opener

your role is basically to sit it out during the most dangerous period of the game. If you get out early you expose the best batsmen in your team to a hard, bouncy ball that's moving all over the place.

how the fuck is Fullback not the hardest position in soccer?

keepers don't need to be "good" at passing. Casillas could barely hit a mammoth from a 10m distance and nobody even noticed until he started to suck in every other aspect of the goalkeeping job

I swear to you, your "sport" makes no sense

it makes perfect sense

Goalkeeper is actually the easiest position in football, most gks probably don't even make 5 saves a match and most of those are pretty easy saves. Also, only gks at elite teams need to be good at passing, most of them just hoof the ball and wait for the best. In their defense, they do have an insane amount of pressure because even a slight mistake might end up as a goal.

It's hard to choose the most complicated position in football but it's probably CM, while, one thing I'm sure about, is that it's not GK

QB is the most overrated position in all of sports. Anyone with a 120+ IQ has the intelligence to make these reads quickly. Of course, you must also have the physical tools to make the throws accurately but the physical requirements for QB are extremely low.

That's also one of the easiest positions, that's why good attacking fullbacks usually end up as wingers (like Bale) while good defensive fullbacks end up as CBs (like Sergio Ramos). They do need to be in top physical shape but most fullbacks are just guys who aren't really good at anything (in Mexico we have this guy called Layun, he's fast af and runs all around but he's dumb as fuck and can't make a good cross even if his life depended on it...despite that he's been a starter for years in the NT)

>>78220822
Because that's where wingers who can't score and manlets who aren't smart enough for CM play. Very few FBs are actually good at their own position.

Being a GK is even harder when you are hardly being tested. Speaking as a GK I played much better when I got tested a few times and got to feel my way into the match than when I would sit back there alone for 30 min and then have to make a big save.

Level of responsibility, or the amount of risk gained from failure calculates what is most difficult position? I'd say the most difficult position is one that actually requires the most versatile set of different skills, which makes the question silly because most positions require mastery only in one or two aspects.
