Being a Good Sport: Understanding Good Sportsmanship

Good sportsmanship is a crucial aspect of responsible behavior, where individuals experience winning and losing in different aspects of life. Competition, such as in games and sports, is a common arena where good sportsmanship is demonstrated. Good sports feel positive regardless of the outcome, have fun, learn new skills, show respect, and avoid negative behaviors like bragging or blaming others. Bad sports display behaviors like crying, tantrums, gloating, cheating, and blaming teammates for losses. Emphasizing self-improvement, congratulating winners, and offering support to losers are key components of demonstrating good sportsmanship. Evaluating one's performance, acknowledging the opponent's efforts, and promoting a positive environment are essential for fostering good sportsmanship.

  5. Skill #2: If You Lose, Congratulate the Winner • Someone has to lose in a game. If you’re the loser, tell yourself, “Someone has to lose. It’s okay that I didn’t win.” • The way you act when you lose can show whether you’re a good sport or a bad sport.

  6. Skill #3: If You Win, Say “Good Game!” • “You had some great throws. I had a hard time beating you.” • “Ha, ha, ha, you lost!” • “Your team did a great job. It was a good match.” • “I kicked the ball so far. I was so good. I can’t believe how well I played today!” • “You put up a good fight. It was a good game.”

  7. Review • Evaluate how well you played. • Congratulate the winner. • Help the loser feel better about not winning.
