Only trash pushes their kid hard primarily in sports. Legitimate professional talent comes down to essentially winning the physical genetic lottery anyway.
So are academics. Smart kids will succeed, its the ones that lack motivation you have to work with. Even then they may gravitate more towards the arts

No. You have a much better shot at being successful by merely working hard academically with average intelligence than working hard athletically with average athletic talent.
Not to mention the numerous residual advantages that come with being curious. Physical fitness is important for overall health, but not for any kind of career.

I disagree with this. My parents barely graduated high school and I excelled academically. But growing up in a small town that didn't matter. I couldn't hit a high school curve ball so I was a loser.
