How to be a millionaire through sports

Today was the last day of my exams, but after completing it, I felt no sense of elation. That may be due to the fact I blanked out for some questions but it could also be the impending reality that after this, I have to get a job. Why? Because everything cost money that's why.

The end of exams sparks the start of my fitness training once again, and it's high time I pay Farrer Park a visit and catch up with training. I also need to pass my IPPT before October, which is not far away.

This post is titled "How to be a millionaire through sports" and I had the idea while sitting in church just now. How do you do it really? I mean there are tonnes of people earning millions annually and a simple search on Google claims baseball and basketball to be the highest. The highest paid athletes in 2004 were Tiger Woods and Michael Schumacher, no surprise there. But then these people are at the pinnacle of their sport and worked for years to get there and stay there.

So if you're still wondering how, then you obviously have to see how big the market is for it? Football in England is huge and even young footies, or whatever they call it earn decent amounts, in British pounds mind you.

But for a Singaporean, I see an easy way out. Work very hard, train every day, live, eat, sleep and breathe a sport like boxing for example. Train and dedicate all your time and money to it, work with the best trainers and go for the Olympics. You have 4 years. The government's incentive for a gold medal = 1 million dollars. 0_0 It's that easy, which is why no one has done it yet. Ok, I was being sarcastic.

Speaking of the Olympics, the Singaporean table tennis team, which consist of Chinese exports (even the damn coach is from China I think), has made it to the finals of the team event and is guaranteed at least a silver medal. Go team Singapore! So if they win gold, does each of them get a million or does is a million split into 5? That is the question. Oh well two hundred thousand is more than enough i guess, i definitely wouldn't complain.
