Oh, interesting; that wasn’t my experience at all. There were popular/preppy girls that played sports, but there was a separate type of girl that played multiple sports and made it, like, part of their identity like the guys did. Didn’t really have a name for them, though.
I guess “jock” would work for a girl/woman, but if you said “I hooked up with a jock last night,” everyone would assume you meant a guy. So it’s not really a gender neutral term.
One thing that I used to do is something mentally stimulating, like a crossword or some Tetris or planning next week’s meals. Or you could read a chapter of a book.
