What does turning ‘Pro’ in a sport mean? Even the IAAF stands for international AMATEUR athletics federation. What’s the difference between these amateur and pro categories?

In general a professional makes their living playing the sport and being paid for it.

A semi-pro gets paid for playing the sport but not enough to live on and has to have another job. This is typical of “minor leagues”.

An amateur does not get paid to play the sport.
