Simple Definition of athlete

: a person who is trained in or good at sports, games, or exercises that require physical skill and strength

I have seen questions like this on different social media posts, Am I an athlete? Or How do you define being an athlete? Or something like that. So, the questions often go like this: Do you consider yourself an athlete?  What is your definition of an athlete? In your words, what makes someone an athlete?

This definition is from Merriam-Webster dictionary; I think it is fitting. I think sometimes we doubt ourselves and this makes us question if we are an “athlete”. I say if you have been training for something, workout a few times a week, do any event or activity that requires physical effort than you are an athlete.
