Published in the Psychology Today recently, the article titled Are Athletes Good Role Models is found. Makes you wonder, are Athletes role models and do they get seen as such. I believe the answer is yes, they can become Role Models, whether they choose to be or not. Do they choose to be of character, substance and do they inspire people to follow them?

The question athletes and coaches should be asking themselves is “Am I a person of substance?”
