Nowadays, young people admire sports stars though thay often do not set a good example. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

It is true that there is a tendency for teenagers to revere famous athletes.

Although

not all

sportspeople

are good role models, I believe the majority do have a largely positive impact on individuals and society as a whole. On the one hand, there are several reasons why professional sports athletes have beneficial effects on the youth. Perhaps the

first

reason is that most

sportspeople

attractive, athletic

bodies, thanks to a constant dedication to training and a healthy lifestyle, which can encourage the participation of youngsters in physical activities.

As a result

, young people who look up to sports stars might engage in regular exercises,

such

as working out regularly at the gym or taking up sports, for the purpose of getting into shape. The

second

reason is that diligence and persistence they show in competitions could be a source of inspiration for people to deal with setbacks in their lives.

For example

, in the Paralympic Games, athletes in wheelchairs with artificial limbs exerted themselves to the limit to gain achievements and

this

could inspire disabled children to overcome illnesses and disadvantages.

On the other hand

, sports celebrities

also

have a positive impact on our society.

Firstly

, some athletes devote time to partake in voluntary work and

to make a contribution to the community. Cristiano Ronaldo, as an example, who is one of the most idolised football stars in the world, assisted philanthropic organizations in helping underprivileged children and encouraged his fans to join charitable campaigns.

Secondly

, even sports athletes who have bad sportsmanship

also

provide moral lessons to the youth.

For example

, athletes using performance-enhancing drugs in order to get the competitive edge over their opponents have been severely punished and

this

reminds young people again about the importance of honesty in sports and as well as in life. In conclusion, I am of

athletes, despite

the fact that some have bad qualities.
