Just wondering how many train full-time and how many hold down full-time or part-time jobs. Probably depends on the sport, but it would be good to have an overall number. Thanks!

I think it would be the other way around. I think percentage wise there are very few people who could afford to train full time. Look at how many obscure events there are that don’t get much coverage. No coverage means no sponsors. Then even in the mainstream events look at how many people enter but don’t win. No medals means no sponsor. I would say a good majority have to hold down full or part-time jobs and train at the same time.
