Defention of Sportsmanship 1.The fact or practice of participating in sports or a sport. 2.Conduct and attitude considered as befitting participants in sports, especially fair play, courtesy, striving spirit, and grace in losing.
Five facets of sportsmanship • Full commitment to participation (e.g., showing up, working hard during all practices and games, acknowledging one’s mistakes and trying to improve) • Respect and concern for rules and officialsRespect and concern for social conventions (e.g., shaking hands, recognizing the good performance of an opponent) • Respect and concern for the opponent (e.g., lending one’s equipment to the opponent, agreeing to play even if the opponent is late, not taking advantage of injured opponents) • Avoiding poor attitudes toward participation (e.g., not adopting a win-at-all-costs approach, not showing temper after a mistake, and not competing solely for individual prizes)
Check the word "Agree" or "Disagree" before each of the following questions • 1. It is normal to complain about officials' calls? • 2. Yelling at an official is OK if he makes a very questionable call or one with which you don't agree? • 3. Taunting is just part of the game. It's part of the gamesmanship that goes on and is no big deal? • 4. Ignoring a negative comment by an opponent or fan is the thing to do in a heated contest? • 5. When an opponent reacts to a great play or a score by one of his teammates, you do not react. You stay calm? • 6. Sincerely congratulating an opponent on a good play or victory is the way it should be in sports? • 7. Cheering should be done for your team, not against your opponent? • 8. Both participants and fans should walk away from confrontations or potential fights? • 9. During or after a contest, if you can't say something nice or positive, you shouldn't really say anything at all? • 10. If a player is injured, you should be supportive and cheer for him when it has been determined that the injury is not severe.?
