athletes need math to figure out stuff. for example a football player needs to know how many yard lines there are to the goal. or volleyball player needs to know what angle to hit the ball to make it go over the net. etc...

Flight trajectories, gravity, force, weight and momentum. Also, sports are a field of much ratio/proportionality - and the weighing up maxima, minima and optima.

Timing judgments have to be made quickly - and assessing the speed, timing and placement of an object with relation to one's opponents.
