Imitation Is the Highest Form of Flattery
Leveraging the Best Examples in Professional Sports |
|
|
|
Imitation is the highest form of flattery, right? In a way. But the debate about how professional sports and professional athletes impact youth players oftentimes centers on how kids should not imitate their favorite players. The debate about whether professional athletes are role models and whether they embrace that moniker is ongoing and seems most often debated in the media when athletes misstep on and off the playing field.
But perhaps lost in the debate about role models is the idea that in fact professional sports and professional athletes can play a valuable role in our kids' sports endeavors - if we harness the "goodness" and leverage the life lessons that sports at any level bring forward.
This month we share thoughts from Responsible Sports Community peers and discuss goal-setting for our kids for the upcoming fall sports season in the context of professional athletes.
