Let the pinheads around you destroy their bodies. Tou know what a magnificent machine you were given (Mininum body of 7). You wnat to prove that you're the best. You are the best. You're a Jock; not that you appreciate the sterotypes that go with the name. You know the dedication and will that goes into honing a body. You know the patience it takes to train reflexes to high quality. You know the intelligence that separates a good player from an all-star. You know what competetion really is.
       You're the lettermen and women of the schools: public, corporate, and private. You love the attention and fame your abilites get, but it's the respect that makes you push yourselves so hard. You aen't all camera hogs; you're not all testosterone crazed beasts, and you'll fight these sterotypes whenever you can. Not that professional sports is helping the situation.Drugs, mindless aggression, brutality, obsession with publicity, and destruction of the weak are all images screamed to you by the media. That's not you, and you're going to prove it.

What you look like
        Sports are your life, so of course they are reflected in your clothes. Almost all of you have some type of athletic paraphernalia: a T-shirt, cap, or whatever. Also, since many of you are on school teams, you wear your letter jacket as well. Some of you even wear some type of team uniform off the field. It might be that all of you wear cowboy hats, or it might be specially ordered T-shirts, but it defines you as a member of the team to everyone. Whatever ou wear, it's got to be durable. if it can't survive two miles of running, shinnying up a chain link fence, and then being tackled by six people, you won't wear it. Aside from team related clothing, almost everything else is fair game, but whatever you wear has to be safe for game play or removable. This means there are very few piercings, spiked hair, or decorative surgeries. After all, you really don't want to catch an earring on something during your lay-up, would you?

Subculture
       Other yogangs play games; you compete. Your yogang's two focal points are the field and the gym. On the field, you're fierce competitors doing almost anything needed to win. The type of sport doesn't matter, basketball. track and field, or combat football; you want to prove that you're the best. Unfortunately, this makes you unpopular with the corporations who have had the professional leagues firmly in hand for decades. the corporations like star quality players who look good on camera and only win when they're told. None of you want that. Therefore, many of you compete in unoffical matches. Unofficial matches are brutal, illegal and two stages short of chaos. But if you can win there, it proves that you are among the best.
        The gym is where you train and plan. Some of you even sleep in the gyms, so you don't lose time travelling between home and that place where your parents live. When you refer to the gym as home, you mean it. It's where your friends are, where your fondest memories are. It's where you've spend most of your time since you could walk.
        Aside from breaking the law in official leagues and the far too frequent drug use, the corps have another reason to hunt you. In order to bring back 'the golden age', many of you help to set up raids to show the corruption, manipulation, and hypocrisy of professional sports. The corps don't like looking guily, and your yogang has caught them quite often.

Belonging
       If you train yourself, they will come.
        After years of work, you attracted the yogang's attention by your commitment and sportsmanship, and they asked you to join. Unfortunately, joining didn't mean they let you ease up. They worked you harder than you thought was possible: free weights, roadwork, calisthenics, and nutrition training. Luckily, you survived the three-month training period, and they started inviting you to games. Just in case you thought the training stopped when you joined the team, they made sure that they pushed you even harder.
        There are a number of ways to be thrown out of the Jocks (and sometimes that's literally what happens). Letting yourself slide will make them push you harder. If you still let yourself go, they will kick you off the team until you get back into shape. Many of the teams will kick a player off for unsportsman like conduct, which may include drug use. If this happens or someone turns corporate, the usual sentence is a lifetime ban. It's very rare, but not unheard of, for the sentence to be overturned.

Allies and Enemies
       You consider anyone who tries to improve their body an ally, but your greatest respect goes to the Streetfighters and BoardPunks, both of which have decided to specialize in a particular sport. The Vidiots give your games the publicity you think they deserve, and Moshers are the greatest fans you could ask for. You have little respect for MegaViolents, who lack any sportsmanship, but you think it's society's fault, not theirs. You pick on the more intellectual groups, sometimes as a misguided attempt to push them into fitness. Therefore the Rads, TinkerTots, and NetWorkers tend to get pushed around by your yogang.

Slang
Bought Refs: The corps
Willows: Non-athletic individuals
Medalded: An excellent player
The Grind: Training
The Fire: The sport
Remus: a traitor, a sell-out

Yogang skill: ATHLETE (Bod)
       Other yogangs moped through the standard Phys Ed courses. You powered through them. Years of training and playing have made you the star player that you are today. This means that where other juves use JockStuff, you can use Athlete, and it will be one difficulty level easier. For example, two juves want to throw a grenade accurately. Carl, the ArcoRunner, uses JockStuff at a Difficult level. Mike, the Jock, uses Athlete at an Average level. Also, all the training and competition has given you a fairly good base for fighting, so you can use your Athlete - 2 instead of Streetfighting for hand to hand combat.

2) Describe yourself
