What makes someone an “athlete”?

What makes someone an “athlete”, in your opinion??

All I know is …ballerinas – the excellent ones – are amazing athletes. I need to watch the documentary of Misty Copeland!

I know a bit about her story & I’ve been told I’ll be able to relate to the “you can’t make it as a ballerina” line I was fed too! I love that Oxygen featured her as an athlete & healthy role model ! Can’t wait to read this!
