In more cases than not, probably: Yes

Of course, there are those who certainly are not - so we need to be very careful who we choose as such. Most importantly, they need to show good living values when dealing with other people, not just personal popularity.

Top sports' people have usually learned many of the following values:

They show u 2 never give up

Most show good sportsmanship and courtesy

They develop self-discipline in order to become good in their field and be valued in the sports; community.

Courage, loyalty, friendship, respect for others, honesty - especially with themselves, physical and mental stamina, determination and much sacrifice to achieve as they have

Overall, we should be proud of them and their accomplishments

They should be. Well, this question got an opinion. As a fact, most peoples role models are athletes. But the question varies too much... Role models are someone you can look up to, believe in, and that you want to be like. Your question actually requires you to answer, are athletes people you look up to and want to be like? there is your answer. now, most likely if you are in a lot of sports, your answer will be yes. But if someone wanted to be an actress or singer when they grow up, their role model might be Demi Lovato. Technically, your real answer is yes. If someone were to take a survey, most people would pick an athlete as their role model. Role models are someone you can look up to, believe in, and that you want to be like.

Pro athletes should be role models because if their are no role models, then who do kids have to look up to? These role models might not be GOOD role models but they are still role models!!!!They are in the public eye which makes them automatic role models. Think of it as this,every one had to do something wrong...not just pro athletes do stuff wrong, u do stuff wrong to..give people another chance and think iof you were famous..you would want to be a good role model but if u did one little thing wrong, u turned into the worst athlete ever....its so hard for famouse people because everyone expects them to not do anything wrong but making mistakes is life...you cant fix anything if you don't make mistakes...ROLE MODELS ARE GOOD!!!!

Sports players are considered role models because they are adults who people look up to. A role model i go along with his Mark Texiera. He's a really good hitter and models how to hit a ball far. He's also influenced me to bat better, and get my batting average higher. You could have a Sports player who you think about a lot and play like.

Of course, sports stars also inspire young children. Sports stars can inspire children to grow up wanting to be like them. But Sports stars are mainly a good role model because sport stars show to persevere, keep determined they show courage. Young people reflect on this and thats how they become good role models.
