The Professional and Amateur Athlete: How Organizations Affect the Lives of Athletes
This blog post will educate you on how organizations affect the lives of athletes. We’ll discuss why professional athletes are making more money than ever before, and the ways that amateur sports can create a sustainable future for all athletes.
Professional sports players have recently been drawing in larger audiences to games or matches compared to any other time period. This is because the players are being paid more than ever before. More money means that sponsorships and endorsements can be offered to athletes, which in turn draws large crowds of viewers who then purchase goods or services based on advertisements they have seen during games.
In regards to amateurs, there has been an increase in those who participate from children as young as six years old up until adulthood. This is because of how people have realized that playing team or individual sports helps to build character traits such as teamwork skills and discipline which then help them become successful later on in life whether it be at work or home life. It also allows others to develop their own personal brand through the use of social media platforms like Instagram where they post videos and photos demonstrating their athletic abilities. In turn, this brings awareness to themselves which may lead them towards being recruited by professional teams looking for new talent!
Since society is not fully aware or educated about how sports players’ careers come to an end in their early 20’s due to injury, many young kids look up to them as role models because they seem like invincible people who cannot be stopped by anything in life which leads children into thinking it must be easy becoming rich and famous without having any real skills besides playing the ball well. This then sets them up with false expectations when they get older, causing some negative effects within themselves such as depression & anxiety, especially if this was the case for them.
Professional sports players earn large salaries because sponsorship deals lead them towards having larger audiences at games, therefore, leading them to make even more money than ever before! This eventually leads many young children into thinking that becoming an athlete means having no worries since they seem ‘invincible’. However, some athletes may not always live out a perfect lifestyle which can lead to depression and other mental health issues.
Now that you have read this blog post, it is important to note how sports players are looked up to as role models by many children who aspire to be like them when they get older because of their large fan base and seemingly “perfect life”. However, these professional athletes may not always live out a perfect or idealistic lifestyle despite what society believes which then leads people into thinking that being an athlete means having no worries about anything in life since they are constantly surrounded by cameras & fans. Therefore if one does not end up making it big time within their career path due to injury or other causes, this can lead to depression, drug use/abuse, anxiety, low self- among others which could affect themselves later on in life.
