It’s not difficult to understand our desire for athletes to be heroes. On the surface, at least, athlete display a vital and indomitable spirit; they are gloriously alive _1_ their bodies. And sports do allow us to _2_ acts that can legitimately be described as _3_, thrilling, beautiful, even noble. In a(n) _4_ complicated and disorderly world, sports are still an arena in which we can regularly witness a certain kind of _5_.
Yet there’s something of a _6_ here, for the very qualities a society _7_ to seek in its heroes—selflessness, _8_ consciousness, and the like—are precisely the _9_ of those which are needed to _10_ a talented but otherwise unremarkable neighborhood kid into a Michael Jordan. To become a star athlete, you have to have an extremely competitive _11_ and you have to be totally focused on the development of your own physical skills. These qualities _12_ well make a great athlete, _ 13_ they don’t necessarily make a great person. On top of this, our society reinforces these _14_ by the system it has created to produce athletes - a system characterized by _15_ responsibility and enormous privilege.
The athletes themselves suffer the _16_ of this system. Trained to measure themselves perpetually _17_ the achievements of those around them, many young athletes develop a sense of what sociologist Walter Schafer has _18_ “conditional self-worth”. They learn very quickly that they will be accepted by the important figures in their lives—parents, coaches and peers as long as they are _19_ as “sinner”. Unfortunately they become _ 20_ and behave as if their athletic success will last forever.
