Let's Discuss

• We all know people who don't have integrity. How do you feel when you hear someone say one thing and see them do another?

• Why do people sometimes act in ways that they know are wrong?

Professional Athletes

Professional athletes are public figures. Their actions both on and off the playing field are seen by millions of fans. There are many athletes who display integrity in their actions and there are others who do not. Whether or not they are aware of it, professional athletes are role models and their decisions and actions influence the people who look up to them. Athletes with integrity value honesty and fairness over winning at all costs.
