OK Karan, the first thing you need to know is...does he really love to do sport?
Or that's just your wish?
I know that almost every American guys like sports, from Rugby to Running.
If you wish him get health from sports, go hiking. If you wish him get a good habit from sports, go play baseball. If you wanna make money from him by sports, go play basketball.
But Karan, those are MY suggestion.
Chatting with him, talking with him, and then listen to the opinion from himself.
I always trust that sports can makes a man, sports can makes money, but the most important thing is... sports makes people HAPPY.
Good luck. :D

Any sports. It also matters the place you are currently living and what sports your country and marketing invests in. Like in India, they invest lot of money in cricket compare to hockey and soccer while other countries like US. invests in American football. I am a huge fan of soccer aka football. And it is the one of the most popular sports in the world. I think it will be great if he plays different types of sports and finds which one he really likes and grow from there. Hope this helps !

Identify the games/sport event which he is able to play, showcase his abilities and win with ease.
Speak to him about his interest in such sports once he is exposed to them, appreciate and encourage him to follow and practice those specific sports.
Provide opportunity for him to learn the techniques and train under the guidance of the specific sport's coach.
As sports carrier completely depends upon the individual's interest and capability it is on the parents/teachers to identify what is the best of any individual.

With the launch of ISL, football has also become a good career option in India. If you are skilled enough, you can make a good fortune if you get selected to play for a franchise in ISL.
First you need to identify which sport your brother is good at and need to get him into a good sports school which gives equal importance for academic education and developing sporting skills. Be mindful that an average sports person, earns until his mid thirteens. Education is vital for a career after your playing career is over. Ofcourse coaching is another option once playing career is over.
