Athletes exercise more than normal people. This means they respire more in order to release all the energy they need to move. Heat is produced as a waste product of respiration, and it needs to be released from their body so that the cells and enzymes don't overheat.
Heat is lost mainly in our sweat, and sweat is mostly water. So naturally, if someone exercises more, they produce more heat. This means they need to make more sweat, meaning they require more water.
