I know Roger Federer and Nadal were both soccer players until late, and chose to specialize in tennis later down the road. I bet there is some survivorship bias, but a non-negligible number of kids end up hating a sport because of the insane schedules these days and parent oversight. My sister played tennis from the age of 9 until the end of college, and I am not sure she wants to pick up a tennis racquet ever again. I started playing tennis in college, and I am absolutely in love with it, and will be for the rest of my life.
