Career: Professional Athlete
What do people in this career do?
Athletes work and compete at many different levels. 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.
What skills do they have?
Athletes who compete at the professional level in the higher profile sports and athletic leagues have access to the highest caliber 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. 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.
Michael likes:
“The competitive aspect is very important to me, and since a young age I have enjoyed competing against other individuals. I also like the fans. Whether they are for you or against you, they tend to ignite extra energy that can make you play all that much harder. And finally, I like the pressure—being in situations where you have to get the job done. I find I always play better when the pressure is on
Michael dislikes:
“The first dislike would be job security. Every year there are new players trying to take your job, new coaches with new ideas, and sometimes you don’t fit into their future plans.
What are three things that you think are good about this job
The thing that attracts me most about this career is the earnings. Depending on the sport an athlete can make up to a million dollars. The lowest paying salary in the NFL is 400,000$, the highest paying salary is 23 million dollars. Another thing that interests me about this career is the possibility of a scholarship to a university. If you are a really good athlete throughout high school, you can get a scholarship to a university. If you don’t get a job as a professional athlete there are branches out from that job, including: referee, coach, personal trainer, gym teacher, and more.
What are three things that you think are bad about this job
The only thing that bothers me about this job is the risk of serious injury. Everyday on the field, whether it is football, soccer, or any sport you play, there is a high risk of injury. Another issue I have is traveling. If you go from city to city playing you have to leave your family behind.
