Athletes often serve as role models due to their dedication, discipline, achievements, success, lifestyle, persona, swagger and many other factors in sports. They can inspire others in both positive and negative ways. More often, in a positive light, we seek to identify with athletes in an effort to pursue our goals, promote teamwork, emphasize the importance of a healthy lifestyle, helping others and achieving dreams.
However, it's essential to remember that athletes are human and may have flaws, so it's important to choose role models wisely. Dream responsibly.
