| description | It’s not unusual for the crowd to get
emotional when witnessing the coronation
of an athlete, praising its effort as an act of
heroism and bravery. But there is a
difference between the life of athletes as
shown in the media and their reality. This
article discusses such differences, based
on the findings of an academic research in
which interviews were carried out with
athletes and professionals of volleyball
along with an analysis of the coverage by
the Brazilian media of the Athens 2004
Olympic Games. Focused on the individual,
it discusses the role the media plays in
the shaping of an idealized image of
athletes, through which they are raised
to the status of a hero, a talented being
equipped with superhuman abilities.
Based on their experiences, athletes,
doctors, coaches, and others sportrelated
professionals point out and
analyze the sacrifices that come with
high-level competition – injuries,
dropping out of school, and
psychological pressure for results – as
possible sources of problems on the way
for a more humanistic upbringing of
young Brazilian athletes.
