Basketball Player Cooper Fox

A Professional Basketball Player is a hard job. Whether you play overseas in a European League, in the G League, or in the NBA you have a lot of hard work ahead of you. You have to practice and work out every single day and play 82 games in one season. You need to work out and be really fast and strong to play at this level. You need to be really passionate and happy about what you are doing.

Professional Basketball Players have long hours and have hard work. They have to play late at night and they have to travel thousands of miles away from your home. You also may have to work on holidays if your team is playing in a Thanksgiving or Christmas Break. You also have to be comfortable in front of thousands of fans and the media and all of the cameras and fame.

Besides of the obvious skills of being fast, strong, and athletic in general, there are many other skills that a Professional Basketball Player would need. You need to be hardworking to be able to play through the long seasons and games that are ahead of you. You also need to be mentally strong. There will be lots of media attention and there will be lots of critics and doubters and you will have to be able to be mentally strong and ignore them.

A Professional Basketball Player is a job that makes lots of money. On a average NBA player each season makes around $7.5 Million dollars. While players overseas and in other leagues make way less money than the NBA players. Some of the best players can make tens or maybe even hundreds of millions of dollars per year for playing the sport that they love. Being a professional basketball player is a stable and luxurious job.
