Some athletes may, at some point in their lives, decide to take up a vegetarian diet or lifestyle. Contrary to popular belief, it is entirely possible to have a great athletic career while consuming a plant-based diet: just ask Hank Aaron, Surya Bonaly, Les Brown, Andreas Cahling, Joanna Conway, Sally Hibberd, Billie Jean King, Carl Lewis, Edwin Moses, Martina Navratilova, and Bill Walton...just to name a few!
