Get started

Ask your friends what they do and have them sell it. Ask to join and try if possible.
Sample something from the broad variety offered from the union. It lowers the threshold due to being affordable and easily accessible.
Be realistic. You don’t need to love it right away. Just tell yourself to try and have a taste of many flavors. Sometimes the most unexpected could become you new passion or proving you have talent for it.

Relying on motivation is risky and not fool proof. Routine however increases changes of success. Imagine the routine of brushing your teeth every single day. You don’t sit around waiting for being motivated to do it. You just…do it. And after, the freshness is the reward. Longterm, the reward is even bigger. Just like exercise.
Longterm is key. Create all the right prerequisites to maintain your routine, regardless of weather, location and training partners. Sudden changes in your daily life or season should not be able to ruin your routine.
Workout with others. If discipline and routine is an issue, training with others can be very efficient as you simply cannot just let people down by not showing up due to lack of motivation.
Accountability: Tell others you have practice/workout later today. The next day, when asked how training went, you don’t want to stand there saying “Nah, I watched Netflix instead”.
