Mastro, James; Ahrens, Christopher; Statton, Nathan
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v83 n4 p28-30 Apr 2012
A role model is a person or challenge that inspires an individual to go beyond what is expected of him or her and to reach a specific goal. Role models can exemplify motivation, passion, and a genuine love of their life's work. All students need role models, and Paralympic sport athletes can be just that, especially for students with disabilities. This article describes how disability sport role models can be used in a physical education Paralympic unit. (Contains 1 table.)
