An athlete (American and British English) or sportsman (British English) is a person who competes in one or more sports that involve physical strength, speed and/or endurance. Athletes may be professionals or amateurs.
Most professional athletes have particularly well-developed physiques obtained by extensive physical training and strict exercise accompanied by a strict dietary regimen.
The word "athlete" is a romanization of the Greek: άθλητὴς, athlētēs, one who participates in a contest; from ἄθλος, áthlos, or ἄθλον, áthlon, a contest or feat. It is the general term for all participants in any physical sport; its application to those who participate in other activities, such as horse riding or driving, is somewhat controversial.
An "all-around athlete" is a person who competes in multiple sports at a high level. Examples of people who played numerous sports professionally include Jim Thorpe, Lionel Conacher, Deion Sanders (male), Danny Ainge (male) and Babe Zaharias (female). Others include Ricky Williams, Bo Jackson, and Damon Allen, each of whom was drafted both by Major League Baseball and by professional gridiron football leagues such as the NFL and the CFL. Japanese athletes such as Kazushi Sakuraba, Kazuyuki Fujita, Masakatsu Funaki and Naoya Ogawa have successfully competed in both professional wrestling and mixed martial arts.

Well true love is bloomingIn the lot by the bay
So we're here now
We're peering through all the steamed windshields
It always starts the same
Hand up the blouse
She's nervous
The glory
The conquest
If he can convince her
He'll be there
He'll love her
He'll wave when she greets him
Under the clearest moon
She said that he should wait but
She was outvoted two to one
He'll show you heaven soon
What would your mother say
The talk of the town
And the boys' bathroom walls
But he promised
She worries
A nagging sense lingers
The stories spun in the gym
They circulate through the school
And now we're scarred for life
The girls against the boys
The newest contact sport
And the battleground is your school
Some people do it for sport
