No - its not polymorphic at all. The type column is there due to STI.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
end

class Athlete < User
has_one :athlete_info, dependent: :destroy
end

class Chef < User
has_one :chef_info, dependent: :destroy
end

class AthleteInfo < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :athlete
end

class ChefInfo < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :chef
end

chef_info table is where the chef specific information is held, same for
athlete. No complication of polymorphism required..
