Our Goal The goal is to have all student-athletes work to embody these characteristics. Pride Attitude Sportsmanship Scholarship
Pride Think You should take great pride in the fact you are a student-athlete.?
You are seen as a student-athlete whether you are wearing your uniform, on the field or off.
Pride Think Why does it matter how you act on and off the court/field?
Pride Parents/Friends Future Athletes Kids Remember Integrity is doing what’s right, even when nobody is watching -Jim Stovall Meaning that some one is always watching what you do.
Pride Some of the most visible athletes are not the best role models
Pride Make sure you remember YOU are some of the most visible members of our school community
ON YOUR SHEET Complete the scruples checklist
Attitude How do you interact with officials? How about your coaches? Opponents? In support of the team(cheering) While you’re playing? When you’re watching? Does how you treat the game officials matter? Why do fans often behave the worst?
Attitude Reacting to a Bad Call Officials are people too They can make mistakes You may not agree How you handle it matters
Take a P.A.S.S. Maintain Self Control Keep your Cool Think TEAM, not ME (flagrant unsportsmanlike fouls disqualify you from the next contest; hurts the team) Walk Away
On Your Sheet Define Sportsmanship Probably easier to define bad sportsmanship
Sportsmanship Why do you play sports? Remember that how you a play/cheer is a reflection of who YOU are. But how you play/cheer is also a reflection of who WE are. Bad Examples of Sportsmanship- Easy Good Examples of Sportsmanship- Hard
Sportsmanship Good/Bad Examples Should it be part of the game? What happens afterwards? Should you ever “Get in someone’s face”
Sportsmanship How to handle trash talking Take a P.A.S.S. Ignore it Make Coach/Referee aware Play Harder Rise above it Responding makes it worse (especially with fans)
Sportsmanship Good Sportsmanship Matters!
Sportsmanship Result of Trash Talking? Anger Fights Bad experience Hurts the school’s reputation
Sportsmanship Easy to Find Poor Sportsmanship Hard to Find Good Sportsmanship

Refusing to shake hands or give recognition for good performances.
ON YOUR SHEET Complete the Team/Individual checklists
A Scholarship? Scholarship • Student-Athletes at Albemarle have it tougher than most. Why? • You are still required to maintain your studies. • Do you think grades would on average go up or down during an athletes season?
Scholarship It’s tough to balance it all but your schoolwork must come first. You’ve got to get your work done and there’s not enough time to do it. FIND TIME! On average athletes perform better academically, why?
Scholarship • Plan ahead • Study on the bus • (on the way to contests) • Make time to study • Never use practice or game as an excuse! • Talk to older players about how they manage it • Get help during LEAP • It’s Student-Athlete, • Not Athlete-Student!
Our Goal Pride Attitude Sportsmanship Scholarship Uphold these ideals!!!
THANKS! Have a great season!!!
