What is Sportsmans
hip?Just what exactly is
sportsmanship? Sportsmanship is helping an
injured teammate when they’ve fallen, as seen in the
picture. Sportsmanship is cheering on both teams,
shaking hands after a game regardless of who wins. A good sport does not sulk if
he or she loses, good sports instead focus more on
improving their skills for the next game.
Examples of good
Sportsmanship
•Cheering for both teams during the game
•Shaking hands before and after the game regardless
of outcome
•Never swearing or getting angry
•By winning or losing gracefully
Sportsmanship all around!!
Examples of Bad Sportsmanship
• Swearing loudly when the other team has scored
• Picking fights with the referee or umpire
• Being a sore loser after a game
• Getting angry at a teammate for a mistake
Bad Sportsmanship
How Can You Be a Good Sport?
• You can pass the ball to teammate in a game instead of hogging the ball
• Congratulating a lesser skilled opponent when they have failed to score
• Complimenting a lesser skilled teammate
• Shaking hands with the the opposing team’s captain before and after regardless of outcome
This seems to be the End
It never pays to be a bad sport, you’ll only damage you’re reputation and then
everybody will remember you as the jerk in the game who couldn’t lose gracefully.
Always be a good sport no matter how bad the game is going or how bleak things get. This goes for life too. It’s like they say: “It’s
not when you go, it’s how you go.”
