As an athlete you have this objective to be totally dedicated to your sport, while also being stereotyped by others thinking you’re a jock or somebody who can’t achieve high marks in school. It can be hurtful to athletes and make them fall into the stereotype and be the way individuals think (failure, underachieving, and JUST AN ATHLETE).
