They're also only paying them for the months during the season. So some of these guys end up having to work jobs for the offseason and still find the time to train/ pay personal trainer to get you to an elite level.
Not to mention that they stay in the cheapest hotels possible. A former pro on YouTube that went in the first round said they were so ****ty, he spent his own money pay to stay in better places
