There’s a misconception on being an athlete in our society. Most people think that athletes aren’t of much value, as they don’t really contribute as much as doctors, lawyers or businessmen in the betterment of life. The older generation would suggest that those who chose to be professional athletes just wasted their college degrees by becoming members of the varsity team. It is only recently that real opportunities are available to career athletes. And with this, comes the chance to play big roles in our society.
