same with me bro never done any sports only did 100m at preschool at secondary school just a couch potato but i hit harder than my muscular friends who were doing sports like soccer ,basket ball i got a decent bit of acrobatics,kicks and punches and just did bodyweight calisthenics at 2019 april continuosly for six month i was already broad shouldered and vascular i got jacked than my buddies who were goig to the gym before me for 4 years i maxed out the body weight gains in chinups,pullups and pushups now i have started weight training because i was not seeing results from bodyweight calisthenics and i also do bare knuckle conditioning in a 50 kg rice bag filled with gravel.
Your problems sound mostly in your head. Nothing is stopping you from being as athletic as you would be had you started being athletic years prior save for a few skeletal and ligament changes that really wont make a noticeable difference. You just need to put in a lot of effort to get there. And that means a lot of consistent effort. I promise you your left leg is just as strong as your right unless you've had a stroke and haven't recovered yet. I'm assuming you're talking about your lead leg round kick. Chances are your form (Particularly when switching your feet) is shit. I felt the same way for a long time "why is my left leg so weak" I had no idea I could still be a beginner on one side. I fixed it by throwing literally thousands of lead leg round kicks. I started throwing a few hundred at 50-100% every day. Now it feels only slightly more awkward than my rear leg round kick. Something that helped me greatly with developing lead leg kicks is practicing a lot of lead leg side kicks, landing with the heel and aiming for maximum height. And as for not being able to land a high kick there's many things that could be the problem, but chances are you're not pivoting your rear foot (pointing your toe) far back enough. That is THE #1 thing that will affect kick height. The farther back your rear toe rotates out the higher you'll kick without needing to stretch your abductors.
Thank you bro, my form can definitely be better. Its gotten more powerful overtime, I have a pretty good inside kick Its just not as powerful when im kicking higher. I'm working on it, I've been coming in at least 5 days a week. Also you're right on mindset, that's something time and time again I've struggled with but you're right who says I can't become athletic now
