The study believes that the cases of role models in some textbooks are insufficient; the distribution of role model cases between different versions and different grades of textbooks is uneven. Role models show masculine and adult characteristics; the distribution of occupations is mainly displayed by athletes and students are secondary; and the selection of role models has the characteristics of the times.The educational value of role models is mainly reflected as follows: through the advanced deeds of role models to introduce sports and health knowledge, to help students acquire knowledge and establish a healthy mentality; introducing the outstanding achievements of athletes and other role models, to stimulate students' national pride and patriotism; through role models passing the spirit of sportsmanship, and carrying out moral education for students. The study suggests that: optimizing the distribution of role models in sports textbooks, to give play to the educational value of textbooks to cast the soul; taking the role models as the guide to cultivate students' sound personality; relying on the deeds of athletes to carry forward the Chinese sports spirit; guiding students to think about the historical background and educational value of role models, so as to strengthen education in ideals and beliefs of them.
