RL are the only Pro team in my opinion

as witnessed hanging around with Dynasty etc, they dont do much thru out the week, they dont go to the Gym, they just train 2 times a week on Sat and Sun and drills on the friday sometimes

exactly what came to my mind when i first heard about how much RL train.

if i was earning a living playin paintball

if my team only played 3 times a week i would be going to gym and maybe practsie snapshootin in my backyard etc for the remainder time

and have 2 days off like a mon and a tuesday as my "weekend"

1 drills session for 4/5 hours a day, 3 of 5 days a week mid-week

Play 4/5 full length x-ball matches, back to back, on Sat and Sun

Well, that's what they were doing this time last year, could have changed...

um.........

i think you become a pro, when young people all round the world look up at you, view you as their hero.....

gives them a good example to follow....gives them something to aim for......ya know?

its tough for younger players when they read some of the stuff on these online forums, of maybe even inside PGI's (no offence, but some of the stuff in there is downright scary to think about....) that make a kid think, what the hell is wrong with this sport!?

but there is hope

thats only becoming a role model, a professional is getting paid for your profession so you earn a salary

well is there really any point in becoming a proffessional in a sport if everyone hates you?

you need the support of the new generation, and the new generation needs something to look up to.....

im sorry if the definition from the dictionary is more valuable to you than my humble opinion.....
