Calling athletes champions does them justice and honors them, but once people start telling them they are superhuman, or that everyone should worship them as a role model, it doesn't just fuck with their heads, but it's also bullshit. Not everybody needs to be told who their role models should be (first responders and athletes come to mind as the ones the media often picks) since not everybody dreamed of being an athlete as a kid. You have a range of things from astronaut to truck driver to ice sculptor that kids wanted to be when they grew up, and really what is true to you is what will make you happy, but it won't always make everybody else happy, and that doesn't really matter. Tough love can sometimes help somebody believe that they're as human as everyone else without giving up on themselves.
Some kids have wanted to be an athlete their entire life, and they stuck with it, which is great, but they're not above the rest of us, any more than any one of the rest of us is above them. Every kid is different, so not every kid needs the same role model in life.

Get the Athletemug. Short for GYAT, a saying that is used by coaches, teachers, and more to give motivation to a team playing a game, such as basketball.
Bob: "Hey coach, did you know that GYAT means "Go You Athletic Team"? You should tell that to the girls team playing basketball over there for motivation!"
Coach: "Alrighty!"
Coach: "GYAT! GYAT! GYAAAAAAATTTT!"
Coach: "Alrighty!"
Coach: "GYAT! GYAT! GYAAAAAAATTTT!"

Get the Go You Athletic Teammug. The tendency of kids who grew up playing a competitive sport and then retired in their teens to tryhard video games, have a good sense of momentum, timing, and intuitive controls, be prone to careers requiring more discipline, and being used to regiment/feeling lost without rigid schedules or structure.
"Hey, why is John so good at timing his jumps in Mario Kart 7?"
"Oh, that's just the child athlete effect. He did competitive gymnastics for 7 years before quitting."
