Becoming a professional athlete is a dream chased by millions, but only realized by a select few.

In this article, we dive into the career arcs of professional athletes in the following sports; Boxing, Cricket, Golf, Lacrosse, MMA, Motorsports, the Olympics, Pickleball, Rugby, Soccer, Softball, Strongman, Tennis, and Volleyball. The four-major sports in North America; Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Hockey, will be a topic discussed for another day.

We’ll explore where the best athletes from each sport come from, average ages for turning pro in each sport, hitting prime & retiring; typical salaries; and average heights for men and women where data allows. These insights are drawn from recent analyses and highlight how each sport’s demands shape an athlete’s path, for both genders. Whether you’re an aspiring competitor or a fan curious about the grind behind the glory, these stats reveal the highs, the payouts, and the inevitable sunset of elite careers in the world of athletics.
