First of all, sports is a real career albeit not a very secure one should you become injured and unable to perform. I think you mean that having a normal everyday person career versus a sports career. In that case then you should pursue both. How? You simply pursue sports up through college and get a good education should your sports career fail for whatever reason then you have something to fall back on. Many, many, many people have pursued sports careers and have failed for whatever reason and have gone on to be quite successful in other careers. Sports careers are risky so don't put all your eggs in one basket.

If your sports career ends suddenly, you need something to turn to as a way of making a living.
Studies are always more important than sports because studies have much more vacancies than sports. If you are interested or good in any subject than u can atleast make a career in which you can spend your life happily but in sports if any person performed better than you.. Then you are shown the exit door...
so the kids get exposed to sports at a young age
