Sportsmanship??

by amazing » Mon Jan 11, 2010 12:19 pm

Fans - Worst fans? Best Fans
Coaches - Worst sportsmanship? Best sportsmanship?
Which age group is the worst? Best?
What drives these behaviors? :ugeek:

I've sworn off openly criticizing teams or coaches.....
I don't have the stomach for the drama and the backlash.

I'll nominate myself as worst fan for this past weekend.....

Saturday pool game.....getting our tails whooped.....opposing coach decides to make a trip to the circle with under two minutes remaining on the drop dead clock.

I let her have it....nothing obscene or derogatory....just let her know how bush league it was.

Tough transition from coach to fan....but I'll get there eventually.

Several teams come to mind that have exhibited good sportsmanship. Our team has had some epic games against these squads. We have played them in select tournaments, championship games, state tournaments and select league and always had close, hard fought games. At the end of the battle these teams always exhibited good sportsmanship and our girls get along great with their girls. To me they demonstrate what our great sport should be about. Competition, sportsmanship, character and a focus on the girls.
