ATHLETES & SOCIETY

            Athletes nowadays are a stereotype followed for many people, especially children and teenagers, as a way to succeed. Everything they do is carefully investigated by the media, so their influence is unavoidable. Nevertheless, it isn´t always good.

           On one hand, professional athletes promote sport practice which is healthy and are a support for learners. But on the other hand, the behaviour of some sportsmen/women isn´t appropiate and this has an effect on young people. Imagine if their idol has been dopped or is aggressive.

           In my opinion, therefore, we have to accept the enormous influence of athletes and they should be more concerned about the role they have in the society.
