Playing a sport as a hobby and dedicating yourself to it as an athlete are two completely different things. They call for varying degrees of commitment and dedication.
For instance, a soccer hobbyist might join a local league with $100 cleats, $30 shin guards, and a $40 ball. A complete season might cost anywhere between $200-$300.
On the other hand, Pro athletes use dozens of $300 match boots per year, have GPS vests that cost over $1,000 each, and invest heavily in their recovery, which involves chirotherapy, hydrotherapy tools, etc. These folks usually end up spending over $100,000 annually on this sport.
