sporthead
/ˈspɔːthɛd/
definition
a person for whom sport is not a pastime but a primary language — the way they read people, places, and moments. not defined by results, but by depth of connection: to a team, a discipline, a feeling. sport is how a sporthead makes sense of the world.
everywhere they go
"they find the pitch, the court, the ground — before they find anything else. sport is not what they do. it is who they are."
