  • If a country wants to prioritise doing well in the international sports scene, then that country needs to prioritise paying promising athletes to basically train full time to reach their maximum potential. If that country wants this. When the Olympics comes around if a country holds its worth and sense of national pride in being a great sporting nation and bases this on how many gold medals it wins, then it needs to ensure all its competing athletes have their full potential reached. Even stress from working a second job can lower performance. So while there are field adjacent careers these athletes could have like personal trainer, motivational speakers, worrying about income could impact their performance. Yes this does mean priveliged countries that focus and pay for their athletes have a better chance.
