Professional

My second reason I want to encouraging more athletes to take advantage of the opportunities in education rather than relying solely on sports to be their professional career. Athletes have the opportunity to receive a free education but aren't taking advantage of this. There plenty of student who would love to swap roles with an athlete and receive full ride scholarships; not having to worry about the high cost of tuition. I know that you can receive scholarships without being an athlete. But a majority of scholarships are given to athletes. I believe that the term student-athlete needs to be reiterated with athletes worldwide. College is essential for any student to start a professional career. If athletes were told form the beginning that they can do more than just become professional athletes than I believe more athletes would consider other professional fields.
