Do flat feet have an effect on performance in sports?

I have flat feet and sometimes when running the bottom of my feet hurt for while.

Answer #1

depending on how you run, like me i bounce, as in,i just plant the bottom of my foot on the ground and basicly just kinda spring up, but not to much so it still looks like a smooth run. and with people who roll there feet like my friend, i think its best to have more of an arch on your foot, have you ever tried bouncing?

Answer #2

Yes, it definitely can make an impact. There are exercises you can do to help with your arches. I suggest looking into that. You’d probably find it quite beneficial.
