Schedules
Athletes greatly sacrifice their time every single day, working more hours than the average person. It may look like they are only working when they are playing on gameday, but actually they are busy everyday. Their daily schedule consists of team meetings, meals, weightlifting sessions, media interviews, film breakdown, and multiple practices. Also, athletes have to travel across the country to play in games. During all of this time, they lose vital time that they wish they could spend with their families.
Privacy
Professional athletes have a large spotlight on them and eyes are always watching. Whatever they do is going to be known publicly and they always have to think about their actions greatly. The media makes stories off of athletes activities and sometimes they make life hard for the players.
Body
Professional athletes put their bodies to the test and sometimes beat them to the last bone. With the heavy amounts of training everyday, their body is broken down and tired all the time. Long term effects, like joint issues and bone weakness come from lots of workouts. Also, many athletes are at risk of getting terrible injured while playing, which costs tons of money to fix.
