Professional sport as a complex structure is an ambivalent and paradoxical culture phenomenon which has been studied in many
researches. This phenomenon has relation with action oriented disciplines such as science and education. On the other hand it is
vitally connected to the audience and commercial viability and image status. A professional sporting career is a long time activity
directed on fulfilling high achievement goals in a sport and consistent bettering of the achievement for the proper material
compensation. This type of activity is fairly complex as it is practiced on the extreme field of competition. The task of mastering
this activity is a long term task of acquiring proper skills and conditions. Certainly not everybody sees sports as some sort of
activity worthy of fulltime attention. Sure enough for most people it is just a type of hobby or a recreational activity and not a
profitable one. Nevertheless professional athletes of the high competition level are doing quite well in terms of their profit. On the
other hand it has to be mentioned that a person who chooses this type of activity as a highly profitable one almost inevitably
encounters a disappointment. You have to have a serious physical potential and the passion for the job to be on the right way as
success here is strictly a derivative which comes later when a whole lot of factors combine in a perfect puzzle. Unfortunately such
an unpredictable and unstable character makes this profession very demanding in terms of psychological stress which requires
serious attention. The problem is aggravated by the fact that professional athletes are deeply affected by both positive and negative
events of their career in a very personal way which demands individual approach however based on the universal studies. We
know numerous situations when successful athletes suddenly stopped their promising careers and quit the sport due to inability to
overcome the stress or deep psychological trauma. The professional sport requires professional approach which is only natural.
However young amateurs who have chosen this type of career have to pay the price from the very beginning of their way in the
sport. The first significant step is the altering of the usual environment and total devotion to the training process. Sport becomes
not only a hobby but a way of living. Sporting performance acquires not only personal but as well a social importance. Now you
have to make a choice. There is no time for everything your peers are entitled to. Hence the problems with social adaptations. The
most important part of the gifted athlete career is when sporting achievements become the main motivating factor which imposes
an appropriate lifestyle. During this period their sporting career is totally depending on their sporting performance. Their career
has its climax when their performance reaches its best. After that due to aging which is different in each sport there is a dead drop
when their performance steadily declines. And the greater the sporting achievements the more traumatic the decline they go
through. The life after a sporting career is different in any given case but for the most part it is a set of entry level jobs that are
waiting for the former athletes. These jobs also demand certain skills rather than certain qualifications and are in retails or social
services etc.
