Sportsmanship
over Conflict
continued ¿ ^ f r o m Front
U nsportsm anship in the
stands reared its ugly head
two weeks ago when a fight
broke out in the Jefferson
High School section at the
Oregon 5A Boys basketball
cham pionship game in Eu­
gene.
McCormick doesn’t know
the people who were involved
in the incident, but said con­
flict resolution techniques can
benefit everyone. He also
wants to see the pilot program
eventually extended to par­
ents, coaches and referees.
“Parents and fans are influ­
enced by how the players,
coaches and referees conduct
themselves,” he said. “It will
take tim e, but we w ant to
change the whole culture of
the game.”
Roy Pittman, a renowned
African American wrestling
coach who works out of the
Peninsula Park Community
Center, is one of the conflict
resolution instructors.
H is tra in in g se ssio n s,
which include both the ath­
letes and their parents, begin
with losing, which he says
teaches m ore lessons than
winning.
The pilot program is long
overdue, he says.
“You need to start working
on the kids w hen th e y ’re
young. Then you get to the
parents, who are frequently
worse than the kids. Their es­
teem is attached to the kids,
so they can ’t be objective.
They bring tension and emo­
tion,” he said.
Dr. Johnny Lake, another
coach on the conflict resolu­
tion team says that in addition
to avoiding conflicts, this sort
of training represents “a won­
derful opportunity for kids to
ge, additional learning oppor­
tunities.
“Sports provide an opportu­
nity for many things in our soci­
ety, including life lessons and a
chance to reach across bound­
aries,” Lake said. "This is a rich
and diverse city, but opportuni­
ties for kids to engage people of
different backgrounds are often
limited to sports.”
Nike Greene, who is study­
ing c o u n se lin g and fam ily
therapy at George Fox Univer­
sity, says that when she was in
middle school, "Female athletes
didn’t have a lot of support.
T here w ere m ostly m ale
coaches. Personal boundaries
and body issues were not even
discussed.”
In her training sessions, she
asks, “Am 1 limited because I’m
female? Because of the length
of my hair ? Because of the color
of my skin?” In a chorus the
girls answered, “No!”
A ndre A shley, the Parks
d e p a rtm e n t's su p erv iso r o f
youth sports leagues, asked the
players, “When your teammate
misses two free throws and you
lose by a point, who lost that
game?” The answer, also in a
chorus, was, “The team!”
Later, at a debriefing, the
resolution coaches confessed
that they also were also learn­
ing, particularly about ways
to reach th e ir young a u d i­
ence. They said they had to
vary their approach, and try
not to exceed the kids’ atten­
tion span. They also noted
th a t th e sa m e te c h n iq u e s
didn’t work equally well with
the girls and the boys.
“You have to be receptive to
new ways to reach 21 st century
youth,” Pittman said. “They’re
used to m ulti-tasking, so it’s
harder to get their full atten­
tion.”
During one training session
both girls and boys were suffi­
ciently rambunctious that the
trainers gave them a lecture on
respect for teachers.
