I think too many one-sport people elevate their own sport to an underserved level of difficulty.
I work baseball and football along with basketball. All sports have their challenges. The hardest TASK I have is working the plate in a baseball game. The hardest ruleset to keep up with, for me, is football (I'm a white hat).
Basketball is the most running.
