Athletes work and compete at many different levels. Although most people associate being a professional athlete with the massive salaries that are common in the elite leagues, such as the LPF, EPL, and the MLS, the truth is that most athletes earn much less than this. It is common for athletes in some leagues to work another job as well, in order to pay their bills. However, what all athletes share is a love of, and a commitment to, physical competition.

Professional athletes train for competitions or games in baseball, tennis, football, swimming, figure skating, hockey, and many other sports. Their day is usually divided between physical training (weightlifting, running, cardiovascular exercises, and so on) and practice (drills, scrimmages, and exhibition games) of their sport. On game day, they usually rest, relax, and mentally prepare before the game or match.

Athletes who compete at the professional level in the higher profile sports and athletic leagues have access to the highest calibre equipment for training. An athlete may use all sorts of computerized running, rowing, or cycling equipment to monitor and increase his or her level of performance. Those who suffer injuries or strains while training or competing usually receive immediate treatment, such as massage, hot baths, ice, or chiropractic care.

This profession offers no job security. Athletes who suffer a serious injury may see their career end with little or no compensation. Their careers are also short-lived because of age factors—most finish their careers in their mid 30s. In youth-driven sports such as tennis or gymnastics, the age for retirement can be much younger.

The characteristics that distinguish successful athletes from less successful ones are total commitment, the desire to win, and a determination to always raise the game to the next level. If you have the necessary talent and drive to succeed, maybe you can become the next sports superstar on a cereal box.
