in india, most surgeons use hamstring grafts. being an athlete doesn't really necessitate graft choices. leave it upto the surgeon and his comfort zone.
Unless u r a sprinter or into trekking / rock climbing, in which case, opt for a patellar tendon-bone graft.
I personally use hamstrings, and augment with prp injections for athletes.
