A member asked:

How do i know if i have a natural talent in any sports? how to identify if i'm a natural volleyball, basketball, swimmer, and other sports? any hints?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should be obvious: For some, height is a basic component, so if you are 5 foot I wouldn't expect volleyball or basketball to be a good choice. For all, you get out there and try them surrounded by others doing the same thing. If you are any good, you excel compared to the others, if not, you do not.

Dr Anyanwu and another doctor agreed

A member asked:

Can I play volleyball with bow legs or will this worsen the bowing of them. I recently have started playing and have had no pains so far. This is my first high impact sport so I'm not too strong. I am still in high school so surgery isn't an option?
