It could also be easy like volleyball where you try to get the ball on the other side while only using 4 touches by different players. My sport would be soccer. To me it’s easy but it’s probably not when you’re a pro. If I was a pro soccer player id never work a day in my life. It’s played by 250,000 million people. On the pitch there can only be 11 players.
