For me admiration is someone that has traits I like or aspire to instill in myself. Respect means they have already proved they have the same values and traits that are similar to mine. Also, someone that does stuff intentionally to cause undue harm or pain to another gets neither admiration or respect.

Simpler way of explaining it: Admiration comes naturally, respect is earned.
