We often come across the pages of famous athletes on social networks. Because for sure, professional athletes simply have no time to sit on Facebook or VKontakte.
In fact, this is not the case, and even the most famous runners or swimmers can easily sit on social networks and correspond with fans. In addition, there are not so many athletes in the world whose fake pages would make sense to create.
So how do they all have time if they constantly train.
In fact, the training process takes no more than 30 hours a week. And then such a powerful schedule comes before important competitions, such as world championships, European championships or the Olympics. The rest of the time, workouts last no more than 20 hours a week. At the same time, within 7 days, one day is obligatory a day off, on which the athlete does a maximum warm-up, and another day with a reduced load. It turns out that an athlete trains for about 4 hours a day, dividing the training time into morning and evening.
Thus, training does not take much time. Even less than a working day in our country. However, the problem is that it is very important for an athlete to recover well.
That is why they spend a lot of time sleeping and relaxing. For example, in a large number of sports, professionals try to sleep at least half an hour during the day. And in the evening after training, strength is usually not left for anything other than to eat and go to bed.
However, there is plenty of time in the middle of the day between workouts and on weekends. They are the same people as we are, and therefore nothing worldly is alien to them. And that's why they also love to sit on social networks.
Most of the professional athletes' social media pages are indeed their personal pages. And this is good news. After all, every person has a real opportunity to get closer to his idol. And even talk to him, if he has the opportunity to answer all the fans.
Unfortunately, not all athletes maintain their pages on social networks. At the same time, their fans do it for them, sometimes passing off such a page as the athlete's personal page. Therefore, review the page very carefully to make sure that this is really not a fake. The main features of this page are the number of subscribers and friends. Fakes usually have fewer of them. Although this is not always the case.
In any case, modern technologies have given us the opportunity to be closer to our idols, and this cannot but rejoice.
