Becoming a Professional Athlete / Sports Person

If you want to become a professional sports person it is better to start at an early age. The first step is to select a sport that suits your skills and natural talent.

There are various Government bodies and private organizations that are keen to develop the sporting talent in India. SAI (Sports Authority of India) is probably the most popular Government organization responsible for scouting and sports training talents in India.

Students may make use of different scholarships offered by SAI and resort to SAI or other state level organizations after completing 10+2 or even before that.

Sports enthusiasts may start playing the sport at the lowest level and gradually rise through the levels. Some of the prominent levels are – amateur level, district level, state level and finally the national level.

Enthusiasts may take help of local sports management bodies and organizations while performing at district level. State sports bodies can be approached while preparing for state level events. Once a sports person leaves his/her mark at the national level SAI will be at their doorsteps.

To become a successful sports person, you should have the following qualities:

• Love and passion for the game / sport
