Join Amy and Scott as they explore how Olympic athletes pay their bills while training to be one of the world's greatest athletes. They dive into:

  • Doctors, engineers, and models are among the day jobs that Olympic athletes pursue to support themselves when they are not competing for gold.

  • Financial challenges athletes face, the lucrative rewards of earning Olympic medals, and which countries pay the best.

  • Some American Olympic athletes get paid to compete; others do not. Why?

You won’t want to miss the fascinating range of careers athletes pursue, like sprinter Gabby Thomas, who balances her track success with her medical school studies.

We break down what's happening in sports in an easy-to-understand, fun way without all of the statistics and jargon, so you never have to exit stage left when the chatter at the office, dinner table or networking event switches to sports.
