Do you mean that you can be a "college athlete", that it, to play in a college's sports team, and it won't take much time or energy from you? You won't have to sacrifice anything?

Being fit does not equal being an athlete in my view, much like being literate does not equal being a writer.

Precisely. I am quite fit but only a decent athlete. Two different things.
