Ok now, I'm assuming that this means if I had the physical capacity, and the gumption, and the skills and the talents.. etc.
That being the case, I would want to be a skin diver. Do they qualify as professional athletes? Sure they do, in my world they do anyway...
And the reason I would want to be that is because it would put me on the beach or by the ocean for extended periods of time.. and one of the things I really really want to do is go to the beach and smell the salt air and get sand in between my toes and find cool stuff that washes ashore... (and never go back to work)...
Well, I guess if I had the skills, etc., I would be a race car driver! I always thought that would be fun! I would also like to do the crash-em-up demolition derby part at the end where they take old cars or trucks and crash them into each other! Now THAT would be fun! Like bumper cars but for real! LOL!!
i get so irritated by 'professional' athletes. it's hard for me to even think of what i would pick, because i have such a deal with it. to me, it is insane and we live in a world gone wrong when an average teacher's pay is a fraction of that of most professional athletes and entertainers. i think it is ridiculous. but, of course, this wasn't the question. now with all that being said, i am afraid i would probably have to pick professional golfing. if i could actually walk more than ten steps without falling down, and could swing a golf club without my arm flying though the air with it, and if i wasn't so incredibly blind and could actually get somewhat close to the target....the money is great, the scenery is beautiful, and they get to go everywhere.
A professional cyclist - there is strategy, luck, teamwork, and an epic battle against yourself. At the end, you have suffered like an animal, and you have probably not succeeded and you are satisfied you have done your best. Every once in a great while, you get in a breakaway and you escape the pelaton and you cross that line - maybe, you are the first one. You think you won the lottery - you spend hours on the massage table with your trainer probably in tears. You get up and do that again for days in a row. You are never the same again.
