How are atheletes doing it ?

Athletes make their money by of course performing on the court or field but some other athletes have endorsements and some athletes has their own charities and foundations . They way athletes expand their fame is by standing out in their craft and they also expand their fame by their endorsements and by keep being seen on TV and commercials and on front of magazines. I feel that influences the younger athletes to reach where the older or more mature veteran athletes are , in some cases i feel that it makes the younger athletes money hungry to a certain point because now their are very few college athletes top athletes getting degrees because they are good enough to go pro so they leave school that's the only negative influence i think the older athletes have over the younger athletes . Endorsements help the name of the athlete it boost fans for the athlete and it expands the fame of the athlete , the endorsements is like the side money for the athlete . The endorsement make the company and the athlete look good depending on what they are endorsing . Lebron is rich just off of endorsements the same thing as when Michael Jordan was in the league they rich off endorsements by its self . When scandals happen athletes are looked at as human right or wrong that scandal is going viral and when things like that happen them endorsements are snatched because that makes the company looks bad endorsing a fuck up. The celeberity life style can intefer with performance i feel becuase it side tracks them they go partying or shopping when they can be working on their game i feel it can be a distraction if they let it become one
