Even when normal people travel for work you are supposed to file taxes in the states you traveled to, if you're there working for more than 2-4 weeks. It depends state by state and by jurisdiction.  Here is a 2018 article about it https://www.cpapracticeadvisor.com/tax-compliance/article/12405584/the-tax-travails-of-employees-crossing-state-lines

Yes, I was going to point this out.  And interestingly, it's not where you work, it's where you reside, at least in some cases.  (Maybe it's both, not sure.)  But I know for some sites that I travel to, they want to keep count of the number of nights spent in the state and if it trips a threshold (30 days for Virginia I believe), then I have to pay state income taxes.  I guess for athletes they have other criteria besides 30 days (as alluded to above).
