How you can become a professional athlete2. How I would go about becoming a professional athlete if I had to start today?3. Specifically, how I became a professional athleteIf you want to turn your passion into a profession, think about how it would feel and how typical days would be. If you got to do what you now do as a hobby, on a full-time basis;Would you get fed up? Could you handle the pressure? Could you sustain the repetitive nature of training? Would you have to change friends?How would life change? For me, it was a simple choice, but many people around me thought that my "leap of faith" was actually quite crazy and irrational, given my starting point and the fact that I had a good career already in something else.I would also encourage anyone to follow their passion as far as they can. You are lucky to have found your passion; many don't. Most people go to work for the pay cheque and look forward to retirement. It doesn't have to be that way but if you're serious about turning that initial idea, motivation, and drive into reality - you're going to need a plan. In the video, I talk you through this, and it doesn't just apply to running but to any career change or change of situation. Make a plan, have a clear strategy, give yourself the right amount of time to execute, jump into it and make it happen. You are not who you were yesterday. If you have any questions, please let me know in the comments section.Good luck, Lee.0:00 Introduction - What am I going to tell you?0:28 Why do people want to turn their passion into a profession?0:53 How does turning your passion into a career change your life?1:30 What's the typical route to turning professional?2:04 The traditional sponsorship method between companies and athletes2:55 Visibility of a brand3:29 My own journey to becoming a professional athlete5:15 Failing at my first time running again5:38 Understanding your strengths and weaknesses6:05 Finally seeing progress, and faster times.6:20 My philosophy when it comes to your potential7:01 What's important for brands and companies?7:55 Find your place in professional sports8:05 The importance of social media8:26 You have to be prepared to be open9:23 There's a massive opportunity for you RIGHT NOW10:17 It's never the next person who gets the job10:32 Learn to tell your story10:45 Summary, subscribe if you enjoy content like this.#motivation #career #fitness
