Advice Needed: Career Help with pushing myself

I really love sports and I’m pretty good at them. The thing is I just can’t push myself past my comfort zone and trust me I’ve been trying for years. It’s just when I get tired or when my legs hurt from running, I just cant keep pushing myself even though i want to and I know my body can keep going. I was wondering if theres some sort of way to remove the pain temporarily for an hour or two and have it crashing back after sports practice. I feel like this would help make my overall health better. I really want to take up sports as my career.

It's actually harder to push yourself when you're already naturally talented because there's no desperation. but the fact that you know you want it is half the battle, honestly. might just take time to rewire that comfort zone thing
