IELTS (Leisure time) In my opinion, professional athletes are good role models for young people. However, that could only be the case if the athletes do not make any unconscious actions, such as arrogant behavior, intolerate speeches and much more. In any other cases athletes may teach their followers and fans how to reach the goals, how to act no matter what others say and how to demonstrate the best they have. As for me, I always keep in mind famous runners when doing evening running sessions. Although I do not know anyone in particular, I still feel the motivation and inflow of forces once I imagine how hard professionals prepare themselves for the races. It helps me beat my own results and move forward in sport. I also know one girl whose performance relates to the performance of her favourite tennis player. Sometimes when she is watching the championship, I believe she is able to anticipate many of her role model's maneuvers. It is also should be mentioned that the youngsters tend to follow the famous stars regardless of the industry they work in. However, sport professionals could teach their fans much more than any other show-business representative. I therefore highly recommend every child to follow someone from the big sport industry and to train him/herself accordingly.
