I don't use seam-gen much so can't really imagine that page :-) It seems like you're passing the athleteID to workoutList.xhtml. That's not the same as passing an instance of athlete, so unless something happens in workoutList.xhtml to convert the ID back to an instance of Athlete there's no 'athlete' available to @In. What does workoutList.xhtml do with the ID? What is athlete.java? If it's an entityBean then @Out won't do much there.
