Hi, Yonathan,
I appreciate your question, but it's difficult to give useful advice. Being a pro means being paid for playing the sport. Some people start as a pro in baseball right from HS, whereas football and basketball players generally finish college first, but if you're outstanding it's possible to be hired from freshman year. In other sports, such as golf, if you qualify for a tournament, you stand the opportunity to win money. So, answering the question relates a lot to what sport you are in. Good luck to you,
