It’s going to depend on body type, if you’re 6’10” your basketball prospects are far higher than your prospects of being a jockey. If you’re 4’6” you can probably just go to jockey school and you’re in.
The team sports offer more professional slots - over 1500 players will be on NFL rosters every year, and when you count the minor leagues there’s probably double that making money playing baseball.
For individual sports (or skill games) you have to be really, really high in the food chain to make money doing it. While the 2,000th best baseball player in the U.S. is collecting a paycheck, the 4th best pool player in the U.S. is installing windows for a living. (This is literally true - Mike Dechaine is the name).
If you have the body for it, than the team sports with lots of D1/Pro roster spots are “easier” to excel at.
If you’re an average Joe, your body type won’t get you kicked out of the room in the individual games/events, but the people at the top will still be those with god-tier hand eye coordination, and being the 500th best at it isn’t getting you anywhere.
