Summary
I think that sports athletes are not over paid as players who
make it to higher levels do not stay around for very long. Athletes are like
entertainers, paid for the time taken to polish their skills. They simply use
their god-given talents to play a child’s game. They practice since they were
young to hone their raw gifts into talents. The cost of and athletic team and
Hollywood movie is the same. Most elite players are rich as they are well
compensated. In fact, every elite performer in every industry are well
compensated and not only the elite players.
Paragraph writing:
Para 1 :
Elite
sports athletes are extremely overpaid and this could lead to corruption in
sports. Athletes may take drugs to outperform the opponent, being
tempted by the prize money, or sometimes bribed to win. Athletes who take drugs
to outperform the opponent, they using underhand means to win the game and this
is no sportsmanship. Athletes may also bribe the opposing team to purposely
lose to them to get the prize money. Athletes may even stoop to underhand means
to win the game, so they will get the trophy or prize.
Overpaying
athletes leads to high ambitions among coaches and parents. In the end, a
talented or gifted child will suffer. Talented children in sports are
good. But if the parents start training the child rigorously at a young age, he
might suffer in the end. Players who made it to higher levels do not stay
around for very long so what’s the point of training the child at a young age?
Once they hit a certain age, they are not considered as athletes by the society
as they are too aged. High expectations from coaches and parents lead to higher
chances of them feeling more disappointed when the players lose the game. When
coaches and parents put the child to training at a tender age, he might not be
able to focus on his studies and become a sportsman. But when he is aged and
not recognised as an athlete, he can no longer earn his keep through the prize
money.
