Making a living from sports?

Is there anyone on here who makes a living from playing sports? Just wondering whether you can do ok for yourself - I’m good at tennis and can potentially go into tournaments and get a sponsor etc, I’m not saying I’d win the tournaments but could be fun to try, my parents keep saying that an academic qualification would serve me better.

Look at how many people at amateur levels compared to pro. I've skied and biked with people who are amazing at it and none made it to a professional level.
