Everyone Wins When You Embrace The Opportunity To Be a Role Model
Posted: March 22, 2023
We are all a role model to someone. Looking at what are your greatest qualities and experiences will help mold you as a role model. Taking the time to feel empowered by these qualities and embracing this role in your family, school, career, work, among your teammates etc will be an important step in gaining confidence.
As a parent, I have watched other great parents lead in certain situations with their children. I have learned more from seeing them as role models of excellence than I ever would have on my own. Same goes for being a Coach. Yes, there have been some I would not want to learn from, but the number of great ones out weights the others. Everyone will benefit from your example and hopefully those examples will continue to multiply within them. Keep multiplying your personal best role model self.

One of the coolest side effects students report about their training in the Martial Arts is Confidence. With this confidence comes the “I Can do it Attitude”. Right in the student creed, that we recite in the beginning of class, we talk about developing ourselves in a positive manner along with bringing out the best in ourselves and others. I am sure you will find, the longer you are in the martial arts, the easier it is to be positive and feel more goal oriented.
Those around us could use a huge dose of these qualities. With so much uncertainty, the value you will bring to your families, co-workers, students and friends will super charge them for more victories in their day. When you set the example, it is natural for others to follow. Keep setting the pace and bring as many people as possible with you.

What is Modeling and how is it contagious either as a Role model or as a follower of one?
According to “YourDictionary.com”, modeling is the acquisition of a new skill by observing and imitating that behavior being performed by another individual. You are modeling your instructor’s skill in the classes that you attend. They will influence you with their teaching abilities as well. If they praise a lot in class and bring out the best in those around them, by being encouraging, chances are you will also be an encourager when you lead.
Your friends can also influence you. We all have friends that like to “lead” the group’s activities and very often, we let them. Their personality may be more confident than those around them. You will naturally pick up many of their habits, whether they are good or bad. Watching how they talk to their family and friends or the way they talk about school or their work, or even their thoughts about other peers in the group, if you let them be your role model, you will pick up those attitudes.

Who are you a Role Model to?
We have already talked about Role Models the past four weeks and everyone gave their ideas on the qualities they expect from their role model and who some of your role models are. Some of the qualities your role models possess include self-confidence, being highly skilled, kind, grateful, self-disciplined. I know all of these values are important to you. Do you possess these qualities yourself… I bet you do.
We are all a role model to someone? In class, you are a role model to all the lower belts beneath you. If you have siblings, you are an influencer to them and other family member no matter the age. In school or your career you are a role model to your peers and those less experienced and to all others. You definitely are a role model to those not in the Martial Arts.

Role Modeling is Worthless Without Doing This
Finding a role model is step number one. Until this happens, there is no efficient forward progress. You must be able to start with someone’s example or you will waste a lifetime trying to figure out answers that already have been answered. A role model enables you to start on their shoulders and then grow from there.
Step number two is you must study the example of your role models. The word, “study” means to embrace learning and invest time in discovery. Studying a role model will increase your confidence, competence, and self-esteem. It will reduce anxiety and help you feel what you are doing is worthwhile.
