What is an athlete?
Wikipedia says "A person who is involved in Athletics (sport), which involves track and field events, long distance, cross-country and road running ..." Why limit it there?
I think anyone who participates in a sport/activity (more than once a week) can be considered an athlete.
I stumbled across this blog today with photos of athletes, as shot by Howard Schatz.
You can see the rest of them: here.
When ever you feel down or need a boost.... just look and see. Sure... some of them have a six pack that would cost an arm and a leg at a local bar... but others are normal. Healthy people.
