Q. Do you agree that since a professional sports career is short-lived, you should not go into one?
I do not agree that we should not go into a professional sports career, but I strongly discourage it. As stated in the question, a professional sports career is short-lived, a professional athlete can only compete in sports events until the age of about 30, after that, he would have no means of earning money. I feel that people who aspire to become professional athletes should think of their future too and not just the near future.
Although I strongly discourage it, I also feel that we should have athletes in Singapore. This athletes can bring glory to Singapore by winning medals in the Olympics or other sports events, like the recent one in the Beijing Olympics, with our women team winning sliver. However, I would urge these athletes to tink about their future ahead and save up or pick up courses to help them find a better job next time.
