By destroying A, AA, and AAA. You have GOAT skills. You'd be hitting .400 with a home run every 8 at bats or so in AAA. Even better than that at the lower levels.

How do you get to A if you are 30 and out of college?

Not many, but guys in the pros have been recognized at every level of sports.

A regular guy who has NEVER been recognized and suddenly wakes up the GOAT is going to need exposure. Hence. YouTube.

I would drive about 20 minutes to Phillips arena and take on Josh Smith.

Basketball would be easiest to try out for a team and make the squad but wouldn't give you the most money.

Sprinting would be good because it's not hard on the body like football, but 5 years gives you 2 olympics if you spread it out perfectly

Baseball pitcher or Boxer would give me the most money to retire on.

You never specified an age. I'm only 25 and once I showed up at an open tryout and was the greatest they had ever seen, I'd at least have a spot on the single A roster.

Boxing? It takes too long to get fights organized. You only get five years.

I'd do soccer because you can move up quickly and sell the shite out of some jerseys. The endorsements alone would be worth it.

The age is not important but it would be too easy for young college students. Where are these baseball open tryouts you speak of?

Hockey. It's a prefect 5 year window. And you would be a hero in the US, Canada and Europe.

Basketball. You can get huge endorsement deals with Nike or Addidas right out of college. Then sign a max deal. After that you can sign with the Heat and sit on the bench collecting rings.

Most clubs hold open tryouts. Well I know at least a few do since I have friends that have attended them.

The obvious answer is Poker. Win enough money in those 5 years to be set for life, and your kids' lives.

Poker is a sport, they show it on ESPN

ETA: After those 5 years, you can spend all the time you want on the golf course practicing to get better. Since you won't have to work, you could golf 3-4 times a week, pay for a couple of training courses, and get good enough to go pro.

I'd go qualify for the U.S. Open this weekend, then after winning the U.S. Open I'd be in all the other tournaments and be winning them. At a clip of about a mil a week.
