Gone are the days when playing a sport professionally was not considered a profession. Sports has always been underrated, generally due to the fact that children tend to ignore their studies. Studies have long been given more importance than sports. In recent times, many sports have gained a lot of popularity and more and more people are taking up the thought of making it a profession.
