For professional sports, you have millions of people watching you and giving you attention. And you can make money by doing something you love. Which looks like the best job in the world.

But I did Judo when I was a kid, I trained 7 days a week. Missing all my friend's birthdayparties, holidays, ... All for the sake of Judo. And I had too many injuries, because I trained as hard and as often as professional Judoka. And still I had to get good grades a school. So life at that time was very hard for me, concentrating on 2 very important things: my hobby and school.

Now I do some running, which is perfect since I can run at my own pace. And if I don't want to go running, then I don't go running.

You can be passionate about something, even when you are an amateur. But the advantage of being an amateur is, that you don't have to train and try to move your boundaries because you need to make money. You can do everything relaxed and at your own pace.
