Here are the FACTS

98% of all athletes

Do NOT go pro

Strike a nerve?

Sorry bout it

(thread)

NCAA publishes data

On % of athletes that play

In college (all levels) and pro

For our example

Let’s take football

There are over

1 million HS football players in the US

Of those,

6.5% will play in college

And

Of that 6.5%,

1.2% will get drafted.

DRAFTED.

That’s 853 people,

Or 0.00075% chance of making it.

You have better odds

Getting struck by lightning.

Why does this need to be said?

Because

These are the numbers

These are the facts

Are I saying

Give up the dream?

HELLLL no!!

Believe me,

I want you to go pro

If you get the opportunity,

DOMINATE

Here’s the thing:

Even if you go pro,

You still need to learn

How to manage

-Your time
-Your mind
-Your money

(if not more when you get there)

You should know

What your agent is doing

You still need

To develop the skills

To be successful

You still need

To invest in yourself

And your personal wealth

If you don’t,

You’re just running sprints for fun.

When you get to the league

Make sure

To always get the big bottle

You’re welcome.
