I believe the answer is:

hustler

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'card sharp' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'hurtles around' is the wordplay.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'hurtles' with letters rearranged gives 'HUSTLER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hustler that I've seen before include "Prostitute" , "Swindler" , "Illicit dealer (mainly US)" , "Aggressive dealer" , "Conman" .)
