Highly Rewarding
Career of any efficient and performing professional is likely to get a boost in view of the continuous fierce competition that takes place for obtaining the services of such professional athletes. Reason is that the athlete who is popular and gives good performance consistently would be high in public popularity scales and this means large amount of money for the sponsors and organizers. Naturally the clubs, sponsors, organizers and all concerned will like to have the best of the professional athletes in their camp and they would be ready to pay handsomely for that.
Difference of Time
In the past athletes were more role models than professional money spinners. Greatest players were paid paltry sums in compared to even what the comparatively newer players get today.
Can one ever compare the compensation paid to Roger Fredericks today on winning a simple ATP tournament in the circuit to what past greats like Rod Lever or Lew Hoad used to get in their hey days even on winning the grand slam on the tennis circuit? Today a player Tiger Woods or Schumacher gets around $1 per second of their time spend in the sports they love, something beyond imagination in the past. Statistics show that Tiger Woods made over $111,941,827 in 2007 alone. And if one looks at David Beckham, the salary goes to around $38.05 per second, one can only feel dizzy.
No Uniformity
However the scenario is not the same everywhere. For instance; sports personnel in some of the less glamorous areas of sports zone does not get as much money as their counterparts in glamorous sports like Tennis, Football, Cricket, Badminton, Golf, Baseball, and Badminton.
However, even in these less glamorous arenas of sports also the earnings are decent and higher in comparison to the earnings of most of the specialized job holders in the market. Of course there is no uniformity in the professional athletes salaries and they vary widely with type of sports, stature of the sportsman, and the country where the game or sports is played. Yet the career opportunities that awaits a successful professional sportsman, at least for the period when they excel in the sports is enormous though limited by the natural law of age catching up with them.
