Good Sportsmanship Enhances Overall Success  

To teach our children sportsmanship, we must first understand that being a good sport involves more than winning with style and losing with grace.

Good sportsmanship creates strong character and develops success through social interaction that enhances self-esteem.

Teaching children to be good sports also teaches them to face life with passion and overcome obstacles through focus and determination.

Whether participating in sports activities or just interacting with family and friends, it is important that children learn proper sportsmanship for overall success.  

In addition to fairness and support, here are some more positive qualities that children learn when practicing good sportsmanship:

A Good Sport learns to:

     Grow through positive interaction

     Overcome doubt; build self-satisfaction

     Outline strategies to achieve definite goals

     Disallow the deeds of others to negatively impact their
                                roles

     Show others through persistence how not to quit  

     Produce harmonic surroundings where all will benefit  

     Objectively perceive situations as they are

     Rise to every task, each time raising the bar

      Trust in the strength of the inner Superstar

While it may be impressive for your child to become a celebrated team player in competitive sports, it’s even more magnificent when they achieve overall success in life. Through the principles of sportsmanship, you can teach your child to become a sound, caring individual, strong in character and deeds.
