Role Models in Sport. By FFKco Melbournes leading provider of school based sports coaching programs. Tennis, Golf, Basketball, Soccer & Netball

05 August, 2015

Role models allow our kids a chance to aspire, stay motivate and emulate behaviors of the champions they look up to.

Most of us will have role models in our lives that we can learn from and attempt to emulate in the best way we can. Many are those we have never met, but may just follow from a far.

This week saw Rafael Nadal one of many peoples role model regain his world class form and win the title in Germany (hamburg). His win showed his great resilience to fight his way back to the top of his game and showed that a passion to win and compete can allow you to overcome the many obstacles and critics that said his great run may have been over.

We wanted to reflect then on a few of our sporting role models over the years and show you a few of the great performances they have had in their respective sports.

Good Sports

08 July, 2015

We all know that sport is a fantastic tool for teaching young children many of life's great lessons. Sportsmanship, etiquette, following rules and responsibility are all aspects of sport that we promote and nurture in students. This week however was a reminder that sometimes in sport, revered sports people are sometimes not the best at teaching these lessons.

The behavior of one particular Australian tennis player showed us all of the bad things that can be conjured up in sport. Unsportsmanlike conduct, arguing, tantrums & general bad behavior were all on show at Wimbledon and set a very bad example for the young and impressionable junior players & kids of this country.

So whilst showing personally on the court, field or arena is encouraged we think that these athletes need to take the responsibility of 'role model' with a greater degree of seriousness. Do we really want the next generation to think this behavior is the norm?

We think that sports stars, coaches and parents need to teach children the good aspects of sportsmanship and help to educate children that the best character to come out in competition should be those aspects that we can all be proud of.
