Pro Athlete
Sports Player, Professional Athlete
noun
Remember how 手 can mean "doer" in some words? Well this is one of them. In sports, you must choose the best doer for your team. In the world of sports, these "chosen doers" are the pro athletes and sports player s.
The reading for 選 is what you'd expect. 手 is the on'yomi reading as it is every once in a while, especially when it has to do with representing a person, so you'll have to remember that. I think you've seen 手 using this reading enough to be able to remember it, though.
