Player Transfers : Professional Sports Athlete Or An Expert Employee

Athletes in professional sports get paid a lot of money to play for famous teams. Because they want more money, they are motivated to play better. When they do play better, they get more money. For example, rookies, players that are new to the game, aren’t paid much. However, they want more money to support their life, so they practice more and train to be much more skilled. Coaches then realize they will soon want more money as the years go by. Athletes practice with their team every week, and do the drills that the coaches pick to do. If players don't get better from this, they need to practice on their own time. “It's up to the execution from the athletes” (Neiburg). This shows that athletes must be self motivated. Most of them are, when they aren’t paid much. Most veteran athletes that are already skilled have a high payroll - because of salary caps. Since it is usually cap prohibitive to release a player that gets a significant signing bonus with this model, some teams are willing to include roster bonuses due in the first couple of days of the second contract year (Corry). This illustrates that salary caps don’t allow players to be released right away. So, the player will get more practice with the team, and have more chances after a bad season or two. Even if a player eventually does get released, they wouldn’t be happy, but they’d be self motivated to practice as much as they can to get back on a team. Critics of this idea say that the only way players got into a professional sports league is because they are skilled, and already practiced a lot. Teams are also only looking for skilled players in certain positions they need. However, the reason teams need new players in those positions is because the players that are already in those positions have weaknesses. Since there isn't any signing bonus proration, teams have more cap

This led to the increase in player wage ,transfer fees and vast migrations of elite football players. Thus it became essential for clubs and coaches to find the most cost efficient way of acquiring elite athletes, while "retaining the services of their most talented players on a long-term basis and balancing flow of new players so that stability in performance of the team was not adversely affected" (A. M. Williams, 2000). The most cost effective way of identifying talent for clubs became their youth academies, where they were able to identify and effectively develop emerging youth elite athlete and early identification became important, as early identification of future talent or elite performers would give any club or organization a competitive edge over their competition (Morris, 2000).

It’s a rather cold Sunday morning in Suffern, New York at 10 am so it’s the perfect atmosphere to just watch a soccer game that’s being played in some stadium across the Atlantic, in Europe. Before I turn on the TV to NBC, I sprint to my room to get my predicted eleven on-pitch players. Why is it important? It’s a ritual for me because I had just spent a few minutes about a week before calculating which players had the highest percentage of making it to the on-pitch eleven. The common misconception is that club managers simply pick the the “best” eleven players to take their “best” positions to make the “best” formation. However, there’s many more dimensions to building a winning eleven than that.
