They understand that success requires effort and persistence. Even when facing setbacks or challenges, they stay focused, continue to improve, and push through adversity with determination and resilience 

Role model student-athletes lead by example. They motivate and inspire their teammates, encourage others to give their best, and contribute to a positive team culture. They understand that leadership is not just about performance on the field but also how they treat others and their willingness to support teammates both on and off the field. 

Respect for coaches, teammates, opponents, teachers, and the rules of the game is a key trait of a role model student-athlete. They show good sportsmanship and treat everyone with kindness and dignity, regardless of the circumstances. 

Role model student-athletes maintain a positive mindset, even during challenging moments. Their optimism and enthusiasm can motivate their peers and help foster a supportive and encouraging environment both in the classroom and on the field. 

Even though they may be star athletes, role model student-athletes understand the importance of teamwork. They contribute to a collaborative and supportive environment, valuing the input and contributions of others and recognizing that collective success is greater than individual achievement.
