Most people only do it as a hobby but some would pursue it as a career. We call these people sportsmen. To begin with, not all sports are created equally as some sports offer a better salary than the others. For example, football is a very competitive sport and as such their players get paid a king’s ransom. One of the most popular football players, Lionel Messi, earns as much as ten million dollars for every competition. Besides, golf is another high-paid sport due to its requiring high precision, so the players can earn as much as five million dollars per tournament. Thus, these are some examples of sports that offer a good salary for sportsmen. In fact, there are many reasons why sportsmen should get paid a lot of money. One of the reasons is because they represent their countries on the global stage. Hence, their contributions to the countries should be rewarded handsomely. Other than that, they are in a highly competitive field. So, they should be rewarded for their excellent performances. In my opinion, there are many ways to encourage young people to love sports. First, the government should offer free sports scholarship programme to students who are talented in sports. This can encourage them to start getting involved in sports. Another way is the school management should build more sports facilities. This will make them more receptive to try out sports due to its accessibility. In conclusion, sports are fun and can be pursued as either a hobby or career. Those who do pursue it as a career can definitely earn a lot of money and be successful in life.
