Question about pro-players

[jas142]

What do pro-team players (like members of BL's Ironmen, Avalanche, etc.) do for a living? Is their team their full time job?

a small fraction of pro players have the "luxury" of making their team their full time job. on aftershock, there is a handfull of guys that work for renick at bad boyz toyz (ie. danny love - custom work and shocktech development, ryan williams, greg pozze - sales, promotions). others like billy ceranski work in the paintball industry - he works for PMI. i think this is the case for most pro teams, they have a few guys on the team that either work at stores or for particular paintball companies they are associated with. for the most part, however, many have other full time jobs, or are students. many choosing to find occupations that gives them the freedom to take time off for paintball.

Out here in the west coast, as far as Bobby's team goes, I know that his son, himself and a couple of guys from his team work at his store Delta Archery Inc. Alot of the kids on Dynasty are down south in San Diego living together and "attending" college. Marty Bush from the SC Ironmen is an electrician, Rich Telford owns his own field, Oliver is R&D for Dye and is also going to college.
