One day while watching a soccer game on TV a million questions came to my mind. How difficult is it to play a professional sport? Do you have to be born a sports star? Or is it every day practice and hard work? Does all this mean that sports stars deserve millions dollars, which they earn every year for sure, but in my opinion these people do deserve such high salaries. For their bright individuality, strong will to accomplish, for mastery they do and just for hard work.
I was never a professional in any kind of sports, but having a brother who's basketball team won the third place in the country's championship I know how hard it was and how much time it took for him to achieve such great results. When I was still sleeping at 6 a.m. he had to be up and doing his exercises, his team had 4 or even sometimes 5 hours of practice every day. When I as watching TV, for example, he had to run 3 to 4 miles. My brother had to say "no" to all the good things (as I call them) such as TV, getting up late, talking with some friends, etc. Not only does a great physical condition and everyday practice makes a person a professional sports player, but also team work, how well they understand each other (in team-work sport games). Even when you play by yourself you have to think of all the strategies and of the plans you are going to use against your opponent. I just remember how my brother told me: "When I play basketball my mind, body and my team are one thing, we are together, I depend on my team as much as it depends on me" So I think, this is one more good reason that supports my opinion.
Sports are also very dangerous. My brother broke his fingers and something happened to his knee, so therefore I think professional sports players should be high paid people.
In conclusion, I want to say that everything that I described above are the reasons that support my opinion.
