When you're an athlete you have to stay at the top of your game. You have to train hard everyday to stay in shape. To prepare you have to study P.E., nutrition, biology, anatomy, and sports education. To stay in shape you have to go to the gym and/or practice 2-4 hours a day. There is something every job has and that is a job outlook. A job outlook is the hiring intentions of employers which means the chances of you being hired. The job outlook of an athlete is 18%-26%. To improve your outlook of becoming an athlete you have to go to college for 2 or more years before you are drafted by a sports team.
