Professional sportspeople are the envy of most young Australians. They earn all or part of their living through participating in sporting events, either as individuals or as members of a team and appear to make considerable money in the process. The professional is either an athlete, coach or sports manager and they are often supported by other professionals such as dietitians, psychologists, physiotherapists and specialist advisors.
