Sportsmanship… A Lesson Everyone Should Learn

~ I think sportsmanship is knowing that it is a game, that we are only as a good as our opponents, and whether you win or lose, to always give 100 percent. ~Sue Wicks

: This goes for players, coaches, spectators, student sections, and everyone else!

~ One man practicing sportsmanship is far better than a hundred teaching it. ~Knute Rockne

: This is the best sportsmanship quote of all. Lead by example!

~ I would advise all youths aspiring to athletic fame or a professional career to practice clean living, fair play and good sportsmanship. ~Major Taylor

: Even if you aren’t a youth aspiring athletic fame or a professional career you should still practice these qualities.

~ Sportsmanship and easygoing methods are all right, but it is the prospect of a hot fight that brings out the crowds. ~John McGraw

: Nobody wants to fight, enough said.
