Usain Bolt is doing what we'd all like to do, quit his job and just try and become a professional footballer. The Jamaican though has a few advantages the rest of us don't have.
A lot of people never have a clue what they want to do in their life, even if they've been in their profession for quite a while, and they either stay put or move about jobs like Alan Pardew.
Usain Bolt rather mastered his profession, winning just the eight Olympic gold medals at 100m, 200m and 4x100m and he'd have nine medals if it wasn't for Nestor Carter.
Like the kid at school getting a bit fed up with being so smart they start being so disruptive it was time for the Jamaican to call it a day when it comes to running last year.

Now at the age of 31 the Manchester United fan is trying to become a footballer, going on a tour of training at teams whose kit is made by his sponsors Puma.
First there was Borussia Dortmund and now Bolt has gone to Norway to train with Strømsgodset during one session he pulled off a nutmeg in a rondo and then scored following a rather unsurprising burst of pace:

Just how far Bolt can actually get in his career is highly questionable, it's pretty rare for someone to take up a sport so late in life and actually make a good go of it and it's not like he's going to want to play for a League Two side.
Obviously he has a bit of a head start on anyone else who would be in a similar situation, not that he normally needs on, because of his pace.
Bolt's dream is to play for United and he's set to play at Old Trafford for Soccer Aid a week on Sunday, not that it's quite the same.
I for one won't be quitting my job to become a footballer.
