Id have to go with ballet. All those painful positions held for quite a while. You need immense strength and stamina to be good at it.

American Football, you need to be tough. But, you need to be fit.

So, id say ballet it the harder to learn and perfect.

American Football by Far but maybe i am just saying that because i am a guy
both are very tough in different ways, Football is full contact, hard hitting and a lot of muscle work. There is a lot more attention to detail and quickness in ballet. I have a sister who does ballet, and I have played football.

I have to go with football
ballet is definitely harder work.
Woah, hmm Ballet is hmmm both hard
ballet is like ice skating you don't know what goes into it unless you follow the sport those people work out starting at birth
Ballet is tougher mentally and football is tougher physically..Over all think Ballet would take more work to achieve the level of greatness you seek.
How many ballet dancers have died or been paralized for the rest of their lives while performing or practicing as football has ?
I am sure they are both hard in their own ways. NFL players are way to big and bulky to do ballet. Ballet dancers would get killed in football. The two are way to different to compare.
I played football... not ballet. However, Hershel Walker ( great running back for Dallas/Minnesota) used ballet for training purposes for football, and swears by it.
I do ballet, and have never played football, but I have to say ballet is harder. I'm sure you have to have a lot of strength and stamina for football, but a lot of people underestimate how hard ballet actually is. It's way more than just putting on a pair of pointe shoes and floating across the stage. Its actually really tough. You have to have flexibility, strength, you have to be able to put up with pain, and the choreography, and many other things. I even had a gym teacher who is a football player/coach and when I told him that I do ballet, he said that he gives me a ton of credit because when he was playing football, he and some of his teammates took a few basic ballet classes and its very difficult.
