athleticism
Bodily skill, coordination
Athleticism is physical prowess—the combination of strength, speed, agility, and coordination that makes someone good at sports.
The word emphasizes natural gifts and trained abilities together: Her athleticism was evident in every move.
Someone can have athleticism without being an athlete, and vice versa, though the terms overlap.
