Can sport help me know myself better?

I did a lot of sports in my life. Most of them, the main ones when I was growing up were cycling, running, and swimming which are on your own, mainly.

So I think that gives me time to think and to reflect. Other sports that I did, they also have very quick feedback loops, especially jujitsu, as I mentioned. If you you're going to fight someone, you have to be aware of yourself before you go have a chance to win. So you have to be aware of yourself, of the other person and be really aware of your strength, your weakness, how to do the strategies. So self-reflection and trying to understand the other person or the environment.
