Is it possible to get good at sports with a late start?

Well, I like most sports, but I suck at them because for whatever reason I didnt care for them until I was about 13-14 and therefore havent been playing any of them when most people were. Still, everyone else has had about 4+ more years of experience then me, do I even have a small chance of catching up? I literally know nothing about most sports; I dont even watch most of them on tv. Yikes, I know, but if Im devoted do I have a chance?

depends on which sport.
if it’s football/soccer/baseball- you can do it
if it’s something like having to do w/ your flexibility- i.e. gymnastics/kung fu- no

go get buff and learn the techniques, you’ll do fine.
i started kung fu when I was 13 and raped blue belts while I was like an orange belt. if u put ur mind n body into it, you’ll do well.

    It depends if u have the dedication, to put in extra hard effort, even if every slacks off.

    Alos, if u naturally have the talent, thats okay, however if u suck, i would say try something else
