Are sports the best route to success?

Unlikely: The best road to success is to get as much education as possible. While sports figures who are successfuly have high visibility and usually terrific lives and incomes, the road is long with tremendous numbers who do not make it. A lot of athletes sacrifice their education to achieve sports success, and when they do not make it big time, they have nothing left.

Sports=success?: I don’t know that sports would be the BEST route to success, but participation in sports can give us an incentive to succeed, a desire to surpass our own abilities, a motivation to better ourselves, an acceptance of collegial work and a respect for leadership.
