No athlete ever ends his or her career the way you want to. We all want to play forever. But it doesn't work that way. Accepting the end gracefully is part of being a professional athlete.

Alex Rodriguez

I was a total athlete. I loved sports, but when I realized I wasn't going to be a professional athlete, I realized I wanted to be in movies.

Seann William Scott

There's far more that goes into being a professional athlete than being a college athlete. So many differences that people don't realize. It's not just about playing football and getting paid to do it. There's a lot of things that you have to deal with.

Robert Griffin III

You can play professional lacrosse, but they make less than a teacher's salary now. I always thought about that. And it's a very difficult career, a short career, as a pro athlete.

Nash Grier

I've never had to make weight for any sport before. Because, get this, I was not allowed to do any sports in school because I was a professional athlete. I was doing wrestling at the age of 15, so the school districts and the board of directors said that because I was a professional athlete that I couldn't do anything.

Rich Swann

When I had my daughter, I'd been chugging along in my career and had great mentors and success, but it was the first time it hit me that I really loved working and having that professional outlet.

Jen Psaki

I wanted to be an endurance athlete from a young age. I remember being in a careers class at school and saying I wanted to be a professional athlete and the teacher replying, 'You're not going to make it; it's not possible.'

Alistair Brownlee

Being a professional athlete, people respect the fact that I respect eSports professional gamers.

Gordon Hayward

I grew up with sports, but I was definitely not good enough to become a professional athlete - I just loved the storytelling aspect of it.

Molly Qerim

I've had a different career than a lot of different quarterbacks, but this has been a career that I've loved and a position that I like being in.

Ryan Fitzpatrick

I've always dreamed of being a professional athlete.

Kyler Murray

I don't think a professional agent or theatre manager would say my career had gone as well as perhaps it should have after that first 'Oliver!' success, but then again I was never really intending to have a career in the professional theatre in the first place.

Ron Moody

I was a judo athlete, while taking modeling as my side job, before I eventually quit my professional sports career over a knee injury.

Joe Taslim

Being a professional athlete, we all want to win the title.

Lin Dan

I came out of my professional athlete career with a 450 credit score, no money in the bank to show for it, but I had an Ivy League degree. So I put that Dartmouth degree to good use and got a job on Wall Street. I hated it but used the time to make connections and become financially literate.
