Some people think that professional athletes make good role models for young people, while others believe they don`t. Discuss both these points of views and give your own opinion.

A group of
people
says that professional sports players can be proper
role
models
for young
people
, which is partially
in contrast
with my opinion, whereas, the rest of
people
have a completely different idea. Presently,
athletes
have an impact on
people
's lives, especially on younger Society. For
this
purpose sportsmen and sportswomen attempt to show suitable behaviour because their manners have been seen all over the world.
Moreover
, they attain enormous money for their performance;
therefore
people
believe that if young
people
have ambition for success, professional
athletes
are great
role
models
for them.
On the other hand
, others think professional sports players irrespective of massive salary cannot be perfect
role
models
, because of some significant reasons;
firstly
, if you look at former professional
athletes
' careers, obviously discover that some of them had unsuccessful lives, only due to popularity job occasion, the public thinking is, they are good
role
models
.
For instance
, Diego Maradona has been one of the best ever football players in the world has not had a nice personal life, in fact, he was addicted to drugs.
Although
from my point of view if young
people
choose correct person For Themselves to achieve their goals, do not mind select professional
athletes
or other
people
for
role
modelling.
Secondly
, these
people
definitely had arduous moments to accomplish high-level positions. So there is not any guarantee for young
people
who can tolerate these difficulties and might be harmful to them. In conclusion, professional
athletes
cannot play good
role
models
for all
people
, because I think in some situations they themselves did not have great lives.
Furthermore
, even they are good ones, might young
people
cannot deal with difficult circumstances as extent as professional
athletes
.
