"Famous athletes nowadays are more like entertainers than professionals. Usually they are not just dedicated to achieve sports goals. If an athlete can call the attention of the public, she/he would worth more for managers.

If the role of athletes in society wasn’t to entertain, there would be any millionaire athlete. Being the best athlete to me isn't being the highest paid player or even the greatest but the greatest athlete to me is being able to look your teammates in the eyes at the end of each and every game and have them know that you gave it your all and left everything on the field it also means for student athletes you have to be a role model not only on the field but also in the class room each and everyday that is what being a real athlete is someone who is willing to die to be the best thats why we have few athletes that stick out from the rest the ones that are willing to give it all to be the best take someone like Derrick Jeter the caption and shortstop of the new york yankees he is somebody to look up to and want to be the goals he set for himself his drive to be great and his passion and love for the sport somebody that doesn't care about what his pay check is and would play for free if it really came down to it now as he slowly starts to come to the end of what we call the "Jeter era" we can only tell our kids and grandkids about the man who just played for his city and put on that jersey everyday for the people and city who have always loved him as he has always showed it back. Being an athlete is always about getting paid but being a role model, a leader, and a warrior that is willing to go to battle with his brothers and do what ever it takes to win. Thats what being a really athlete is.
