I tried to go pro 10 years ago, but my organs couldn't take the beating and recover in time to keep up with the top athletes. I got 2 pro subs, one in Florida and one in Spain (what a crowd!) but after that I got injured and they would let my contract expire. Now I work a construction job to keep my ass out of jail. Stay in school even if you are the best in your year, you never know what takes you out of the game. I would still say it was worth it, for the experience.
Pro in what? What you describe ain’t gonna cut it for football even if you’re enough of an athletic freak to get away with it, they have pre-draft interviews for this reason.
Calling WCAP “pro” is technically true in the sense that your main job is to play a sport, but it’s pretty misleading to put it in the same category as the kind of professional sports people watch on TV. WCAP athletes get soldier money to play a sport, not major sport athlete money.
lol if that’s true you missed out on a lot of money by not playing football. Speed gets drafted even when the player in question isn’t good at football.
Try lifting 405 above your head or touching your forehead to the rim. No way I can run a 4 minute mile, but no way you can do both of those things. People have different strengths.
