Hi, thanks for your interest in rating the factors of success in sports. We have polls on many sports asking visitors for their opinion of what are the most important factors of success in a range of sports. We have had these polls online for quite a while, and it has become obvious that the opinion of the regular site visitors (while valuable) may not be an accurate reflection of the true demands of the sport, and be quite different from the views of those more closely associated with the demands of a particular sport.

After you have submitted the form, you are welcome to come back and rate another sport if you have the required expertise. Any questions please ask.
