False. Professional athletes do not solely compete for the glory; professional athletes often get paid for playing.

This is false.

Professional athletes generally love and glorify the sport they practice, however, sport for these people is a profession like any other. These people become professionals and their livelihood comes from sports activity. This is important to ensure that athletes are dedicated and concerned exclusively with their performance in the sport.

Note: Some sports are well-paid, such as football, basketball, golf and tennis, making their practitioners reach fortunes.
