Amateur
"The word
amateur has at least two connotations. In the first,
more widely used manner, it means someone performing
some task without pay, in contrast to a "professional"
who would be paid for the same task. In this sense,
labeling someone an "amateur" can have a negative
connotation. For example, amateur athletes in sports
such as basketball or football would not be regarded as
having ability on par with professional athletes in
those sports." Source:.wikipedia
Professional
A professional works
to receive payment for an activity (as a profession), which usually
requires expertise and carries with it socially significant mores
and folkways. That is to say, behaving professionally would indicate
that the person's actions remain in accordance with specific rules,
written or unwritten, pertaining to behavior, dress, speech, etc. By
extension, the adjective professional can indicate that someone has
great expertise or skill in a craft or activity."

Tips
"When
choosing a hockey stick, your height needs to
be considered. If the stick is too long or too short,

affected as well." Source:
