SPORTSM ANSHIP
Sportsmanship means respecting the rules and the spirit of the competition. At the crux of
sportsmanship, is the way in which we win or lose. Do we do it with class, respect and grace
or with anger, vulgarity or rudeness? Think of one of your most significant wins or loses.
What is the one lesson about sportsmanship that you learned from that experience?
Many of life’s
failures are
people who did
not realize how
close they were to
success when they
gave up.
My Sportsmanship Lesson
I never thought
about losing but
now that it’s
happened, the only
thing is to do it
right.
~ Muhammad Ali
~ Thomas Edison
It is your response
to winning and
losing that makes
you a winner or a
loser.
Sportsmanship, for
me, is when a guy
walks off the court
and you can’t really
tell whether he won
or lost, when he
carries himself with
pride either way.
~ Harry Sheehy
You learn more
from one loss than
you do from a
million wins.
~ Jim Courier
~ Amy Van Dyke
