SAYSI Fact Sheet #1     |      The Real Winners     |      SAYSI Fact Sheet #2 We need to teach our kids good sportsmanship and adults need to practice it in their everyday lives. Parents are the real hands-on role models. Sportsmanship is not defined as simply helping an opponent up after you have knocked him down. It is a nice gesture and should be done whenever possible. Good sportsmanship encompasses much more than a gesture. Actually, sportsmanship is a curriculum that teaches the rules of life while the youth are having fun playing a sport. Every aspect of good sportsmanship is relative to our lives, jobs and community relations. Good sportsmanship teaches: Respect for coaches Respect for teammates Respect for officials Respect for opponents Respect for the game Learn the game Your self-esteem grows as you learn Play fair -- no cheating Winning -- be a humble winner Losing How these teachings apply to life: Respect for your superiors at work Respect for your co-workers Respect for the law Respect for your competition Respect for your job, neighbors and community Study hard, know your career, work hard and learn on the job Self-esteem builds confidence to be a leader Cheaters are losers in life Don't brag -- we aren't perfect, so keep learning If you learn how to lose you learn how to gain from it. Wouldn't you like to sponsor a program that promotes and teaches honesty, integrity, respect, character and leadership for our kids? God knows we need a good dose of all that in our society right now. What's In It For Me?
