Do you think a 21-year old fencer will be more competitive because of this money? A 17-year old swimmer? A 16-year old gymnast?

If that money is what makes them feel comfortable e.g. dropping out of college to focus on their sport, absolutely.

		Then they are likely fools in more than one way. They might be awesome athletes, and dropping out to pursue their sport might be absolutely the right thing for them to do. But a promise of $100k after age 45 is not the reason.

		Not in the amount promised unless they have non positive financial acumen
