It’s not difficult to understand our desire for athletes to be heroes. On the surface, at least, athletes display a vital and indomitable spirit; they are gloriously alive _62_ their bodies. And

sports  do  allow  us  to _63_ acts  that can

legitimately  be  described  as _64_, thrilling,

beautiful, even noble. In a(n) _65_ complicated and disorderly world, sports are still an arena in which we can regularly witness a certain kind of _66_.

Yet there’s something of a _67_ here, for the

very qualities a society _68_ to seek in its heroes

selflessness,  _69_  consciousness,  and  the

like----are precisely the _70_ of those which are

needed to _71_ a talented but otherwise unremarkable neighborhood kid into a Michael Jordan. To become a star athlete, you have to have an extremely competitive _72_ and you have to be totally focused on the development of your own physical skills. These qualities    _73_ well make a great athlete, _74_ they don’t necessarily make a great person.

On top of this, our society reinforces these _75_ by the system it has created  to  produce

athletes---a system characterized by _76_ responsibility and enormous privilege.
The athletes themselves suffer the _77_ of this system. Trained to measure themselves perpetually _78 the achievements of those around them, many young athletes develop a sense of sociologist Walter Schafar has _79_ “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 _80_ as “winner”. Unfortunately they become

_81_ and behave as if their athletic success will last forever.
