Here’s how they match up:

Albert Camus was a serious rugby player.
Of course, we know from his books that Ernest Hemingway was a notorious 
     fisherman and big-game hunter.
Arnold Schoenberg was an avid tennis player.
Charles Ives played baseball at Yale. He was a left-handed pitcher.
Samuel Beckett was a star cricket player.
F. Scott Fitzgerald played football at Princeton.
William Faulkner was a 'semi-pro' golf instructor in Oxford, 
     Mississippi.

Writer Pat Conroy said ‘Athletics is mercilessly fair.’
The same could be said of art.

Art and sport are also complementary.
At its best, art requires a total commitment of emotional and intellectual 
     resources.
While sport demands complete physical and emotional dedication.
