The Athlete describes a person seeking to experience life through the power and stamina of the physical body. They are often called thrill-seekers, tomboys, outdoorsmen, and competitors. Characteristics of the athlete include taking great care of and pride in one's body, enjoying physical challenges, being super competitive and socializing with other athletes.The life journey of the athlete is to discover a sense of personal power and identity through developing the body. Mastering the body is the foundation of the self-esteem for the athlete. Not all those who fall into this category of archetypes become professional athletes, but their passion for physical fitness prevails throughout their entire life.The athlete represents the ultimate expression of the strength of the human spirit as represented in the power and magnificence of the human body. This archetype has endurance and perseverance that transcends not only in sports, but in all themes of life. An athlete has grit and can endure more difficult situations with strength and optimism. I grew up loving sports and athleticism. I'd hands down, choose swinging a bat over playing with Barbie dolls any chance I could, and was a 'tomboy' by nature.
