How many of yall actually want to go pro in your sport.

**Benchboy31** · 01-02-2007, 06:44 PM

Some people just do it for fun, but I want to go pro and nothing will stop me.

**watchandsee23** · 01-02-2007, 07:02 PM

I think everyone wants to, if not they are doing it for the wrong reasons.

Playing for the love of the game is the wrong reason?

Give me a break.

I was just about to say that...

**Mayweatherjr** · 01-02-2007, 07:15 PM

people can play sports to stay in shape, because they enjoy playing it, or for just simple recreation as a lack of having something better to do
not everyone wants to go pro

**doubledee** · 01-02-2007, 07:19 PM

i would love to play pro basketball.... i have never seen a white person dribble as well as i can!

but....... last time i checked in the mirror i am 5'10 and white..... =[

It's much harder than advertised. Those who play the game for fun, opposed to those who play it because they want to go pro have a better chance. You'll find that there is a fraction of a percent on this site who actually have a chance to go pro and most of them are baseball players.

I love football too, the reason I want to go pro is not just because of the money but so I can still play organized ball, and play at higher levels.

IF it comes up my junior year that i can play pro I'd wait till my senior year get my degree then do so. But if it never comes up I'll just be a college player

**neworleans** · 01-02-2007, 08:08 PM

i'd love to play pro football. but highly unlikely because im onli 5'6 and asian =/

**â„¢da1â„¢** · 01-02-2007, 09:40 PM

I wanna be in the nba and as the guy said above nothing will stop us!

**teriyakisaki** · 01-02-2007, 10:03 PM

it would be awesome to be able to do it, but i know its very unlikely, and im satisfied with that. i have other things in my life id rather do.

**ThaCarterIII** · 01-03-2007, 12:09 AM

well first i want to get a free ride to college first...gotta take it step by step.

**Tyro** · 01-03-2007, 02:15 AM

Lol that probably sounded strange but the thing is i was never athletic and when i started lifting evrything emproved and i become jsut good at sports and i dont know maybe time will make me realise where i am becouse it all looks like a big dream

**Frodo14** · 01-03-2007, 05:21 AM

well.......if i went home to italy to play rugby i could probably go pro with some hard work. Anywhere else and i would have no chance!

**HoosierBoy** · 01-03-2007, 05:26 AM

Everyone on these forums is apparantly going to the NBA.

**malty** · 01-03-2007, 07:48 AM

The odds of becoming a brain surgeon are better than the odds of becoming a pro athlete

**NueveUno** · 01-03-2007, 07:55 AM

Doesnt mean it wont happen... but at the same time I'm not saying everyone on this forum is going pro... maybe 1-2 perhaps... just think how hard it is to become a rapper and get famous with that.. probably 10x harder

**Robb_P** · 01-03-2007, 09:40 AM

I would love to. Do I have the ability? I doubt it.

I'll keep trying but when other people are running 11.3s in the 100m at 13 yr old, you have to question your ability.

I agree that it is good to do your sport for fun - otherwise, why would you even bother?

**TrojanSC** · 01-03-2007, 10:15 AM

Never wanted to go pro in football but being a professional baseball player has always been my dream. I honestly think right now I think I'm between a AAA-AA player, but when and if I decide to enter the draft I'm gonna bust my ass.

14, 5'6, 109... good luck, you're really going to need it.

im 14, 6'1/6'2, 245 (cutting now, football body) and i am the best freshman at my school (serious). the only real challenge for me is playing varsity players and playing against adults, which i do everyday. but yea u should really check in to an education route, ive got a 4.0 gpa, and know i have a very low chance of going into the NBA.

just being realistic for you.

**Da_Phoenix** · 01-03-2007, 11:30 AM

1 in 16,000 kids make it to be a pro athelets is the statistics... screw the statistics everybody was created equal some people just dont believe in there self enough... the people who can block the negeitve comments are the people who have a better chance in being sucessfull in what they want to do... i want to be a pro Fighter and am going to do what ever it takes to get there...

**â„¢da1â„¢** · 01-03-2007, 11:31 AM

making the nba at 5,6 is not easy ( sorry keyboard problems) ^^^^

**Mr. Costanza** · 01-03-2007, 11:33 AM

alot of people play to not go pro..like its a dream but not a goal.....in my situation right now it is very possible to go pro (my dream) i play junior hockey....i need to move up to junior A and then play division one (my plan) and hopefully from there get drafted of go for a tryout of sign or something..

**watchandsee23** · 01-03-2007, 03:07 PM

If you love the game you want to continue to play until you can't. The only way to do it is to go from rec, to middle school, then high school, then college, and finally pros.

**bxbombers** · 01-03-2007, 04:12 PM

i never did **** in high school,, then was drafted by the brewers and then i said,,"now im gonna bust my ass". i took everything very seriously and it became a job,, then i completely lost interest and didnt do as well as i could have..i used to get so pumped the night before a baseball game,, then after a while it was like -"ahhh i really dont feel like being at the ballpark all day''

one thing you'll notice with professional athletes is they have fun. pro athletes love what they do, if it isnt fun, then its a job that they will loose.

MLB is unlike football in that you don't have to enter the draft to be drafted.
