When your character in BitLife achieves their dream of becoming a professional athlete, they will already have been recruited into their starting pro squad and can live the life of a famous star. The career of a professional athlete can be comfortable, but it takes a lot of work. There is a new meter you need to worry about called a height, and it determines how well you are an athlete in your sport.
When you first join a team and become a professional athlete, your height is extremely low. This is absolute trash because you haven't had the opportunity to develop yourself as a member of a useful team. You want to prove yourself and make sure that you are a useful member alongside your teammates. A great way to do this is to read your stats, which you can do when evaluating your work as a professional athlete, and see your greatness. Whatever your two or three lowest stats are, try working on those in the practical category under the activities in the employment section. The more you practice these skills each year, the more likely you are to become a valuable member of your team.
Each year after a season ends, your greatness increases depending on how often you can play games and how good you are. The various stat sheets you receive at the end of a season explain your usefulness to the team, and these come from your different skills in the sport. Make sure to continually practice your weakest skills possible, but remember to work on your expert skills because increasing them is never a bad thing.
The more you become a valuable athlete with better skills, the more esteem and prowess your team gains. A higher ranked team at the end of a season increases your greatness. Make sure to train, practice, meditate, and take the time to review your stats.
