playing fair, taking a loss or defeat without complaint, not gloating when winning, and treating opponents and officials with courtesy, generosity and fairness.
Why should we develop sportsmanship at our school?
People who use the 7 Habits show good sportsmanship! It promotes and teaches ethical behavior. Sportsmanship is the most important concept and value of interscholastic sports. It promotes fair play, respect and the importance of following the rules.
Good sportsmanship can help elevate the public perception of your school within its community. Good sportsmanship offers positive reinforcement for extracurricular activities.
It conveys the expectations that a school has for its students, coaches, parents and fans. It helps coaches, students, parents and fans learn self control, respect and treating others the way they wish to be treated.
Proactive Coaching
- Your child (student) will follow your example, not your advice.
- Parents and coaches constantly send powerful messages to athletes and those messages should not conflict.
- Players who have had their skills identified and praised early in their life, but have not been held accountable to the same rules/standards as others on the team learn that their skill level leads to special treatment.
