Benchwarmers

For some athlete, it's great to be a benchwarmers. In soccer, for example, a few of the team's benchwarmers enjoyed watching their teamates playing a competitive football, while he sit for the whole 90 minutes match, possibly, if they didn't got the chance to play from the coach. These kind of players, have all the best days of earning a blind income. The weekly salary for them, if they're an important or a star player, are based around $70,000. And the role-playing of them,were just sit and play in a few minutes, 1 time in a week, and then get the $70,000. How a waste of time was that! In addition, let us take a look at an example. The all time well-known player, Ronaldo, had a really wasted time when he was playing for Internazionale Milan, since he had a two-year injury blow. But it seems that he had no intention of playing anymore, for the reserves team, after his recovery proccess. The il phenomenon, then jumped to Real Madrid a few weeks after the world cup 2006. The total waste that Inter spends were around 8 million dollars. Unbelieveable! But however, not all of the benchwarmers enjoy to sit idle and earn a blind income. Some of them, who have a highly determined spirit, refuse to be the benchwarmers. There are a few causes for this case. First, they feel that being a benchwarmers are such a waste of time. They feel that they can't be a well-known and great player, if they were just sitting idle. Secondly, not all the benchwarmers had a higly paid salary. the non-star player, paid only around $5,000 to $10,000, and, to see that being a footballer was not a long time job, he understand that he have to come out to the pitch and play to show their talents, and then have a new contract and an improved salary. In conclusion, try to be a hardworking and key player for the team, unless you would be such a poor players, known as the benchwarmers.

Hello Richard, this is a very interesting writing that you made. From your statement I agree with you that many football players that took a blind salary. But there are also a benchwarmers that take his position very well. For example is the legendary Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, eventhough he was a subtitute player he still manage to score a goal as much as the regular players. that is why he was called the super-sub. well, other than that I don't have more comment to add for your writing. keep up the good work bro.
