I guess what I really meant is that maybe tennis pays better than squash or badminton, but uses very similar skillsets. I was not in anyway proposing they could play in the NFL specifically (hence saying "some other sport")
My claim was basically pro sports people are naturally talented at sports - and which sport they ended up playing pro was more likely to be circumstance than considered choice.
The rest is you just doubling down on "people should choose jobs not passions". Sure, if you like.
- bena 4y agoThen that's something different than what you said. Football, basketball, baseball, soccer, rugby, these are all "other sports". You said the majority of badminton professionals could do it. I still doubt that. I even doubt that the majority of them could transfer to tennis. Because there are levels to sports. And it's largely based on where the money is. And I'm saying you shouldn't sacrifice yourself for your passions.
