Listen "Role Models Always Take Responsibility"
Episode Synopsis
Over the last week, we have seen a number of high profile sportspeople getting themselves into the spotlight, many of them for the wrong reasons. With a high profile comes big responsibility and unfortunately a few of them will look back on the last week with a level of regret.
Many people look to these sportspeople to role model great behaviours all the time and when they don’t, the ‘knives’ come out as does the criticism. Despite their young age, the expectations are huge, and through their actions, reputations can be severely impacted. Unfortunately some choose to either deflect attention, or attempt to justify their actions, and in the process, fail to take responsibility.
The positive aspect of the last week has been the way the vast majority of these sportspeople have stepped up and taken full responsibility. Not making excuses, not trying to justify and not trying to blame others.
