There\'s an accent mark over the \"a\". What your text is saying is that these athletes are people whose behavior we should imitate, they provide a good example for everyone else to follow.

Besides, you have the same word (role) in French. Someone whose \"role\" you should \"model\" or \"imitate\", therefore it becomes \"role model\". HTH.
