Need more info : What sport and what movements? Worst case scenario could be heart/angina pain can sometimes radiate to the shoulder especially with physical activity but also depends on location of pain and what movements hurt. Suggest see a doctor for an examination

Shoulder pain causes: There are many reasons for this, for example, a labrum issue, a rotator cuff muscle injury, bursitis, arthritis or a combination of these among some of the more common. It should be cautioned that shoulder pain, especially radiating down the arm, may be a sign of nerve impingement or cervical neck issues & should follow up with your doctor asap.
