Being an athlete is hard. There are just too few openings and athletes age out.
Be a web developer, it's easy, schedule is flexible, pays well, used to include travel (damn covid), and you get to date cute marketing girls.

Other thought..you have to be one of the best punters in the world...
One can have a financial success without being even close to the best in the company. I've seen even the worst being paid pretty well..
Not punter. Ski Jumper. That job requires absolutely no strength. And no physical coordination either. You simply have to lean forward far enough to achieve maximum lift. And in Europe, these guys are rock stars with private airplanes and 8-fugure salaries. It's a piece of cake walk.

Why not a male ballerina? Absolutely 99.999999999% of males want to be ballerinas. Your feet will hurt like heck but imagine the tail you would get.

I meant would NOT want to.
Many of those males who do want to be ballerinas may want the male tail of course.
True. It's like being a dude and going to nursing school.

Francois Steyn from South Africa has kicked a dead ball penalty 66m through the posts
Several AFL players drop punt the ball on the fly over 50m with accuracy through the goals. With a little adaptation to game play, they would do it easily.
None of these guys have gymnastic qualities or background.
Kid on my high school soccer team went on to be a field goal kicker i n the NFL. You can’t just train your average young athlete to do that. You have to start with a kid who can kick a 55 yarder in practice and who is big enough to take NFL hits. Turns out there aren’t too many of those kids out there.

Male ballerinas are not getting action. If they were, we'd know about it.
