And to add, most normal jobs, it is not like suddenly in your mid 30s you get worse at your job and by 40 most have to retire from that job.
Sports careers are very limited in their lifespans. As Syd pointed out. Most will not even see a second contract.
Only a small handful will be able to play into their 30s.
That is why you take what money you can make when you are young and then if you ever make it to that second or third contract, you begin to worry about things like winning and situation and chemistry with your teammates.
