The word athlete functions as the indirect object of the sentence. Indirect objects in sentence construction refers to someone or something that was affected by a transitive verb but is not really the primary subject of the sentence. Indirect objects are usually found after pronouns.

The real answer is objective complement because the word athlete is a noun that renamed the direct object him.
