　　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.

These qualities 73 well make a great athlete, 74 they don’t necessarily make a great person.

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.
