Individual

Competition category sorts athletes by the level they actually competed at, such as national team, club or youth level. Wikipedia notes Pele played "for the Brazil national team at 16" while also starring "at club level" for Santos, two distinct categories at once. This dimension groups athletes who competed at the same category of competition.
