Water polo is another sport Tebow could succeed in, why with the emphasis on arm strength and throwing. The only question is whether or not the burly former quarterback is a strong enough swimmer to hang in this, one of the most stamina-dependent of sports.

Indeed, water polo requires its athletes be in incredible shape, which is something Tebow should have going for him if he has continued to work out like a professional athlete in the preparation for his baseball tryout.

Assuming he could stay afloat for an entire game, Tebow could be a dominant goal scorer for the U.S. in four years.

The sport would integrate the throwing he did as a quarterback, just without the support from his legs. His core strength would come into play as fans would find out just how strong Tim Tebow really is (pretty strong, we reckon).

This is another sport that would not be on the national stage until the Olympics come around, but again, it’s far more plausible than a baseball career. Tebow would just need to get in the pool and begin his training soon, as he would have a lot of catching up to do to have any shot of making the national team.
