SPORTSMANSHIP

• In general, sportsmanship refers to virtues such as fairness, self-control, courage, and persistence, and has been associated with interpersonal concepts of treating others and being treated fairly, maintaining self-control if dealing with others, and respect for both authority and opponents. Sportsmanship is also looked at as being the way one reacts to a sport/game/player.

Good Sportsmanship

• Proper consideration for fairness, ethics, respect, and a sense of fellowship with one's competitors.

• For example:

• -Shake your hands when the match finishes.

• -Help a member of the ‘’Enemy team’’ when he/she is bad.

• -Change your T-Shirt with a member of the enemy team.

Bad Sportsmanship

• Is simply the opposite of good sportsmanship.

• For example:

• -Not shaking your hands with the other team.

• -Having a bad behaviour with a member of the ‘’enemy team’’.

• -Losing time when your team is winning.

Conclusion:

• Have:

• -Good behaviour with all of the members of the rest of the teams.

• -Fairplay

• -Respect the judgment

• -Respect all the players
