The Passionate Sports Girl can put the JerkJock in his place by beating him at his own sport, and also protects the NonActionGuy from the JerkJock as well. She can vary from being a sweet and shy yet diligent player, to being a dark personality who just wants to play football. The specific sport she pursues is often dependent on personality; {{tomboy}}s generally prefer more aggressive sports like soccer, basketball, swimming, martial arts, baseball and softball, whereas {{girly girl}}s generally prefer tennis, ice skating, gymnastics, cheerleading and volleyball.
You can tell that she is passionate because this girl lives for one sport at which she excels, or perhaps for any opportunity to show her strength, despite what anyone else thinks. In the first case, if it's a traditionally male sport, her desire to prove herself could lead to SweetPollyOliver as she attempts to get on an all boy team. If she plays a variety of sports then she's more likely to be the GirlNextDoor. If it's a boys' team then it's YouGoGirl.
She is also a more accessible LoveInterest for the hero, since he can get to know her better by playing sports with her. There is a bit of WishFulfillment here for both the guys (who want a girlfriend they can talk about sports with) and the girls (who want to associate themselves more easily with sporty guys). Making sports her priority can [[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon be intimidating]] or [[AmazonChaser relatable and/or attractive]] depending on the setting and the characters within it.
