Answers
atletas, desportivos--aficionados Explanation: A "jock" is usually a serious athlete or a member of a sports team. However, it may be applied to someone who takes something very seriously and spends a lot of time participating in it, such as a "shock jock" ( a radio personality who is vulgar). |

disjokey Explanation: En las traducciones en español he visto que usan la palabra "disjokey", aunque yo preferiría conservar la forma DJ. En este caso son los "DJ roqueros", al igual que hay "DJ latinos", etc. |

deportista con mente de piedra Explanation: Without further context, one can't see if the phrase is talking about a jock, which is slang for an athlete, often with connotations of low intelligence and large muscles. It could also be a discjockey who likes rock in preference to jazz, classical or some other musical store. I would like to see more context. |
