This is something I never cared much about. If you didn't make it to the NFL, just accept it and move on. Especially when it comes to an activity that requires no skill and lots of drugs, like bbing.
Unless you have a legitimate chance at making a profit from competing, what's the point? The praise of schmoes and a $5 trophy for your county fair? Seems strange to me. I don't think too many corporate executives are "competing" in local shows. It's almost like having something to prove and validating gym efforts...but not even your own, drug ridden ones even.
Do a juggling completion or showcase some artwork, play an instrument.
Anytime someone would ask, "Do you compete?" I'd think to myself...wtf would I do that. I played baseball in high school...never went pro, then moved on....haha
