A sportsperson (American English: Sports person), (gendered as sportsman or sportswoman) or (in North America) athlete is a person trained to compete in a sport involving physical strength, speed or endurance. Sportspeople may be professional or amateur.[1]
Most professional sportspeople 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 ἂθλος, áthlos, or ἂθλον,áthlon, a contest or feat. The term may be used as a synonym for sportspeople in general, but it also has stronger connotations of people who compete in athletic sports, as opposed to other sporting types such as horse riding and driving. In British English (as well as other variants in the Commonwealth) athlete can also have a more specific meaning of people who compete in the sport of athletics
Sporting events have brought us great memories and plenty of entertainment throughout our society for years. Superstars, idols, and heroes are founded through this great industry. Sports have developed drastically and it will only continue to grow, however there are many obstacles that seem to be slowing this process down. Is our media causing unnecessary chaos? Are athletes becoming money hungry or are they still playing out of love? These questions and more are going to be answered in this project...
Successful sportsmen and sportswomen are able to enjoy more status than the rest of us in today's society. Sports are treated like Celebes; wherever they go there is always paparazzi. People admire these sportspeople because of their wealth and fame. Media always brings up their glamour, success and failures. It even tells us about their private lives; who is marrying who, what they wore in a special event etc.
And that brings us to the influence they have on fashion trends in our society. A classic example
