I was a bit like that. I practised ball skills etc at home, but was still unco. Playing a couple of seasons of indoor cricket in my early 20s (not very well but it was great fun) helped enormously. Activities like that & golf require a great deal of study & thought & not much natural ability, although practice certainly helps.

My sister OTOH was a sporting all rounder & my brother was a caddy golf champion at the local club where he caddied, & I think both are/were autistic. My team were always very happy to have her fill in if someone dropped out. (She would’ve joined the team, but lived some distance away.)

I loved being active (ADHD) but wasn’t good at sport & was horribly self conscious about that as a child.
