Abstract
Professional athletes have had a long life of being able to compete in the sport they love. Once retried, most athletes quality of life worsens. Injuries and the dramatic change from competing sets up a former athlete for adversity. Most people believe that athletes are privileged individuals that earn too much money for the work they do. However, consequences such as bankruptcy, depression, and even suicide points otherwise.
●The findings show that although athletes might have a gifted early life the quick change in lifestyle sets them up for failure. Also I agree that former athletes have a worse quality of life not only because of their life but because of their body after several years of competition. ●Research Ideas on how to better prepare these athletes in college on how to use their money. Test equipment that can better prevent athletes from injuries, along with looking for ways to strengthen frequently injured body parts.
