I think nowadays many people especially young people need idol in their lives, and who could be better than professional athletes? In my opinion, athletes can inspire people, guide them with useful advice to have a correct lifestyle or maybe character.
In the communities, athletes have a powerful and important character among people. It can have a directly effect on people especially young people. For example: They can encourage young people to detect their distractions and stressor and eliminate the things that cause them to be distracted. I think athletes can be eyes for people and give them correct vision to find their own purpose.
Furthermore, athletes should have a boundary between them and young people; because they learn this people and they have a control on them. This matter is definitely sophisticated but if they consider people circumstances, they can find a logical way to create some roles. As I mentioned, encouragement can’t just be used to detect distractions; for example, it can be useful in improving people’s nutrition.
Professional athletes can be a guide for all young people because they need schedule to understand their perspective. Some of them may understand and in fact they tolerance many hardships and it would be good because hardworking and tolerate difficulty situation cause improve their performance. No one can anticipate the future simply by following advice or having an idol.
In summary, athletes can be good role models for young people. The main reason is that they have a direct impact on the young community, inspiring them and offering meaningful advice to help them achieve their goals and live better lives.
