[QUOTE="kg01, post: 45431, member: 11"] Y'all are making it sound like he's slow or something. No he hasn't shown he's Usain Bolt at this point but, considering he's not training at a world class level, his speed now is probably enough to go consistently in the top 12-15. I did a little research and it appears his best bet would indeed be to pursue football. If he trains and becomes elite he could certainly make a great living, but it appears to be a bit of a long shot. This one says consistent top 10 puts you in the range of 6 figures possibly: [url]http://trackandfieldathletesassociation.org/site/how-much-money-do-track-and-field-athletes-actually-make/[/url] This one surveyed athletes and found that non-elite/name athletes can struggle: [url]http://www.runnersworld.com/elite-runners/for-elite-runners-economic-struggles-and-disparities-persist[/url] Also, as @[USER=735]Whiskey_Clear[/USER] mentioned, track is a dirty game. I'd be hesitant though to say football is 'clean' even relatively speaking. [/QUOTE]
