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.”
