How Your Gender Affects a Career in Professional Sports

How your gender affects a career in Professional Sports

Whether you are male or female plays a key part in your ability to have a

lucrative career in professional sports.

As young children we start out all on the same level. We can play the same

sports, there are co-ed teams that we can play on together girls can play

baseball, football, soccer. As we start to get a little older the powers that be,

decide that the girls and boys don't need to play the same sports with the

opposite sex anymore.

So that's when it all begins, the boys can still play baseball, football, wrestling,

etc. and the girls options begin to dwindle at this time. As a male you're still able

to play all the sports that you have your entire life baseball, football, wrestling,

basketball, etc. and this leads to you, if your good enough having a lot more

choices of what sports you can excel in and work towards a college scholarship.

And then you move on to after college (if your good enough) to play that sport

professionally and get paid a lot of money for doing something that is not only

fun for you, but also is not like having to work a job. Don't get me wrong guys, I

know that playing sports is a lot of work. And I respect the people that do it. And

you also have the option of trying out for the Olympics (still more opportunities

for males) here is where the tides change.

Females can play softball, basketball, soccer. And they can also choose which to

excel in for a chance at a college scholarship however the males have the extra

advantage of having sports that girls aren't allowed to or is looked down upon

such as wrestling and football.
