You'd need a heck of an umbrella to block all that sunlight. Seriously, cooling it down via solar blockage is about the only way you could ever make Venus livable. Followed by massive removal of CO2 on the now-icy surface.
Mars has the advantage that it's easy to make something hot- just use energy- while making something colder is more complicated. Also- here me out here- basketball on Mars will be insane. Venus still has, what, 80% of earth's gravity? Boring.

Followed by massive removal of CO2 on the now-icy surface. This is part of a plot point in Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy, definite recommend if you want some reading about terraforming. > Also- here me out here- basketball on Mars will be insane.
