I pretty much was in contact with and interacted with athletes for a large majority of my life and I think the difference's played out most in the tactics, practice methods, and interaction with coach and audience( teammates, parents, peers..etc)

I don't know about unathletic... I personally know two NHL players that are INxx types; my INTJ classmate is a world-class competitor in a racquet sport (albeit he practices between chemistry labs
), INFP friend is the most agile guy that can weave through anything in any sport which makes him a fantastic football/soccer/etc. player; INFP brother will likely play University hockey like my ENFP father and another cousin did...
And you're not really considering the cyclists that do Tour de France style racing. That's plenty of mental strategy knowing when to attack, when to wheelsuck... it's all a game of chess while you're sweating away.
