**A traditional homeschool student-athlete is defined by as a homeschool student that participates in athletics. While they may transfer from one homeschool sports program to another to improve their athletic possibilities, they are committed homeschool students. The contrast to this is a student who is an athlete first, and will chose whatever type of schooling benefits him or her most athletically.”
