IMO, "sports" are the "be all and end all" for people.
My nephew, now 30 years old, was a "3 season sports player" and academically excellent. He has all sorts of skills, but cannot fix anything around the house. He has an excellent career and a beautiful condo. OTOH, his Father (my brother) can fix almost anything. The kid was busy with sports and never worked side by side with his Father on household projects.
My husband did one sport and worked with his Father around the house. He can fix almost anything, too. If not, at age 64, he is still willing to learn. We have spent many happy hours working side by side on projects in our 37 years of marriage. Our home is in great shape and we can do nearly anything we need to- together.
Some people call us "talented"- to drive a nail or fix is not "talent". It is having a useful skill. Talent is being able to paint a mural, not just paint a wall!
