Playing Favorites: Dream Jobs

Professional sports is the immediate goal for these athletes, but what comes after? When asked about dream jobs beyond playing, the answers ranged from practical to ambitious.

Some envision staying in sports: owning an NFL team, working for Nike or Adidas, broadcasting on SportsCenter. Others have different plans entirely—CIA agent, clothing designer, YouTuber, or running a small store in Alabama. The variety shows that elite athletes think about life beyond their playing days, even as they chase championships now.
