Pooja Srinivas is a triathlete who not long ago did not even know how to ride a bike without falling off it with alarming regularity. But with her sheer determination and passion for the sport, she kept working on her skills and strength on and off the bike until earlier this year she made it to the top step of the podium on the BBCH Individual Time Trial Women's podium ahead of much younger and experienced riders.

Someone working full-time/part-time, entrepreneur or anyone who has to work to make ends meet and doesn't let being busy to stop him/her from pursuing an active lifestyle is a working athlete. I consider stay at home moms/dads who pursue a sport, as working athletes because homemaking is a full-time job. If you like this, share with friends who could be interested.
