Is Jessica Ennis-Hill the perfect role model for young people?
By Shakira
Not only is Jessica Ennis-Hill our Olympic gold-medallist champion, but also an inspirational role model that I think young people need in their lives. But why is she this influential role model?
Jessica Ennis-Hill is my role model because she is a unique individual. Sha has achieved so many things throughout her life that has not only made herself proud but the whole of Britain proud. She is someone special to look up to because she inspires a lot of people to become more fit in order to be the best. She demonstrates resilience by training very hard to be where she is now and she always gives everything and the best of her ability which is important.
Jessica Ennis-Hill has won two medals, one gold medal in the 2012 Olympics and one silver medal in the 2016 Olympics, both for Athletics Heptathlon.
Her gold medal in the heptathlon was the result of years of hard work. She trains continuously for six hours a day, six days a week and has made huge sacrifices to follow her dream, never losing sight of it even when she was injured. Her incredible figure and extraordinary success is due to hard work that she does when she trains and how motivated she is to get where she wants to be.
