Psyched To Win

As seen on television, talented athletes always win medals or trophies either for themselves of their countries. Should talented athletes sacrifice their education to explore their full potential in the sporting arena? I will be discussing the pros and cons of this topic.
Pros of talented athletes sacrificing their education to explore their full potential in the sporting arena:

1. They will tend to concentrate more on their sporting career and thus have the time to train harder, improving their talents.
2. When the athletes train harder, they can win more medals, trophies and glory for their country.
3. For those athletes who like to show off, this is their great chance. When they win something for the country, their faces would most likely be on television or newspaper, therefore making them famous.

Cons of talented athletes sacrificing their education to explore their full potential in the sporting arena:

1. They might not be well-educated to socialize with people out there.
2. The athletes can most likely only stick to their sporting career, as they may lack the education needed to get a job in the modern world.
3. They might not be able to find a husband or wife, because nowadays people tend to marry those educated and rich people.

My thoughts of the discussion: It is not advisable for athletes to sacrifice their education to explore their full potential in the sporting arena.
