Example: you play soccer, you tried to tackle for a ball and misjudged your tackle and kicked the player instead of the ball, why would not your apology be honest? You honestly did not want to hurt the player, I would feel better if I hear an apology

Yeah, that makes sense. Apologizing for genuine mistakes that have consequences for others, that makes sense.

Typically nobody apologizes for mistakes unless there are consequences for someone else.

I think part of an apology has to be the understanding that the problematic behavior will change.
