  • 🧠 It's argued that athleticism involves more than just physical prowess, encompassing game sense, anticipation, and strategic thinking, as seen in athletes like Jon Jones and Tom Brady.
  • 📊 While physical attributes like speed and explosiveness are important, the definition of an athlete needs to be expanded to include mental acuity and strategic depth.

The 'Dog' in Athletes
