Did you know that athletics is the oldest organized sport on record? Technically, the first historical reference is a list of the winning athletes of a pentathlon held in Greece in 776 BC.

An athlete is a person who has a good condition, with a healthy body and has developed physical capabilities such as strength, resistance and flexibility, some think that it is something simple, but the truth is that this also has its difficulties, but not everything is as bad as you think, this also has its benefits.

 An athlete, in addition to being a healthy person, is also a person who competes in tournaments, where it is not easy, they may have obstacles and they may be very long, but well, they prepare for something, right?

But as I already said, it also has difficulties such as: Injuries can range from small sprains to serious injuries that require surgery and prolonged rehabilitation, also, their competitions can be very intense, everyone always wants to win, it's obvious, another thing that people think can be good is that sometimes they have to travel, this can lead to physical and mental exhaustion, these are just some of the difficulties that athletes can face in their sports career, but some athletes are happy to overcome all these difficulties and achieve their goals.

Wait, it's not all bad, being an athlete also has its benefits, such as physical health, regular training and participation in sports can significantly improve physical health, most athletes have low body fat and more muscle this helps them to perform better in His abilities, you too can have knowledge and success, or rather make all your effort worthwhile, and as I said before, traveling can be exhausting but it also has a little benefit, because you can see new places and win your competition.

In conclusion, being an athlete is a good thing but with some difficulties, it also brings you rewards or rather benefits for your body, health, etc. We recommend that you at least practice some sport, I hope this has helped you keep in mind. what it means to be an athlete.
