2 months agoNot sure I can agree with this considering all the athletes who now have covid from attending the games, who may not ever compete again. There were zero covid protocols at this Olympics and we saw several athletes collapse.
You shouldn’t start playing sports specifically because you want to turn pro. It’s not like other careers, you have to actually be the elite amongst talented members of your field and it takes years of committed practice every single day to even get a shot at an opportunity to turn pro. If you feel passion for sport and want to start competing in athletic activities, bodybuilding would be the most accessible to turn “pro” after competing as an amateur.
