Footballers are role models for young kids but all young kids see is footballers swearing at each other, cheating their fellow professionals and getting into scrapes off the field. This last week we've seen some inspirational stuff from a set of hardworking and humble people and its really putting things into perspective.
Footballers should be role models it is true but my kids have never said to me they want to be a footballer like ..... (even though they love playing) but my 3 year old is watching the Olympics (worryingly he likes the weight lifting) my 6 year old has decided when he gets older he wants to be in the Olympics but given the number of sports he wants to compete in ...
They want to go outside and play handball after seeing it for the first time ever not to mention swimming rowing and volleyball
The only down side is my 6 year old has now asked me if I'll get him some horse riding lessons and a horse. Lol fooking Olympics it would cost me a fortune. I had to tell him only rich people can do that and asked him if he can swim instead.
Great though and oven the reaction of my kids all I can say is it is inspiring and is leaving a legacy.
