One man practicing sportsmanship is far better than fifty preaching it.
Knute Rockne
The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.”
Isaiah 29:13
Teaching kids to play with lots of spirit and aggressiveness without being poor sports is a tough challenge for a coach. If they go a little too far one way, they lay down for the other team. If they go a little too far the other way, they may be viewed as unsporting.
It's important that kids understand that they can and should play to the best of their abilities, while still maintaining a respect for the opponents and the spirit of the game.
