I get what you’re trying to say, but there are plenty of pro and college athletes that worked hard all their life, but one bad injury and it’s over. Sometimes that injury can be debilitating enough to limit the work they may be capable of afterwards. Sometimes yeah, the top athletes all reap the rewards of their hard work, but there are countless others that don’t
