Some people think that pro athletes serve as an inspiration for a younger generation, whereas others argue that athletes’ behavior both on and off the field can hold a negative impact on young people. I believe that they act as a positive role models for the young.
To begin with, it is widely believed that the behavior of professional athletes in and out of games have a negative impact on young individuals. The majority of athletes who train hardly want to win and even if they lose , they can not admit defeat for a long time and in most situations start behave in an inappropriate way in the end of a competition and get furious immediately. They have a sense of injustice unless they are right. Furthermore, athletes’ behavior can actually be in their private life as inappropriate as during the competitions. Most sportspersons have the ability of getting angry or being rude to others without mentioning it.
Nevertheless, I believe that lifestyle of professional athletes can serve as a good example and positive role models for the younger generation. In fact all of them are hard-working and have objectives which they achieve by daily trainings. Being professional athletes means not having any bad habit, which can affect health badly and it also means having healthy lifestyle. Goals of all sportspersons are common, it is contribute to the development of the country’s sports, make coaches and parents proud of them, and pursue own dreams. For these reasons, I believe that they serve as a positive role models for the young. They are actually a good example of people who young individuals should admire.
In conclusion, professional athletes’ impact on young people can be both positive and negative. It is related to their behavior. However, I believe that they more serve as a positive role models for young people.
