Sportsmanship

Sportsmanship - Fair and reasonable behavior, especially in playing a sport. It is abiding by the rules of a contest and accepting victory or defeat graciously.

What is sportsmanship?  It is playing by the rules, considering the feelings of others, providing encouragement, being honest, having self-control, using teamwork, showing respect for your opponents, and being cooperative.

We have seen an increase in distressing incidents in youth sports and professional sports as young people and adults alike often participate in inappropriate behavior.  I hope this will change. You can help that change come about by being a good role model.

Sportsmanship is about character, values, personal responsibility, learning how to win and how to lose graciously, and how to control frustration and anger. It is being a good citizen.

Let’s think about sportsmanship. Do some good thinking here. I found a wonderful website that asks some good though-provoking questions about sportsmanship. Go to the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center and pick one of the questions to answer. Be sure to tell us the number of the question when you answer and use complete sentences. I can’t wait to see your answers!
