T he In stitu te for International Sports (IIS) has declared Tuesday, March 7, “National Sportsmanship Day. The IIS states, “Good sportsmanship occurs when team m ates, o p p o n en ts, coaches and officials treat each other with respect.” Kids learn the basics of sportsmanship from the adults in th e ir lives, especially their parents and their coaches. Kids who see ad u lts beh av in g in a sportsmanlike way gradually come to understand that the real winners in sports are those who know how to persevere and to behave with dignity- whether they win or lose a game. P aren ts can help their kids understand that good sportsmanship includes both sm all g estu res and heroic efforts. It starts with so m eth in g as sim ple as shaking hands w ith opponents before a game and includes acknowledging good plays made by others and a ccep tin g bad calls gracefully.

A child who bullies or ta u n ts o th e rs on the playing field isn’t likely to change the behavior when in the classroom or in social situations. In the same way, a child who practices good sportsmanship is likely to carry the resp ect and appreciation of other people into every other aspect of life. If a child has a coach who cares only about being in first place and says that anything goes as long as they win, that child picks up the message that it’s OK to be ru th less on the field. If p aren ts are c o n sta n tly p ressu rin g them to play better or second-guessing every move they’ve made, children get the message that they’re only as good as their last good play- and they’ll try any method o f achieving one. A d u lts who em p h asize good sportsmanship, however, see winning as just one of several goals they’d like their kids to achieve. They help young athletes take pride in their accomplishments and in their improving skills, so that the kids see th em selv es as w in n ers, even if the scoreboard doesn't show the numbers going in their favor. The best coaches- and parents- encourage their kids to play fair, to have fun and to c o n c e n tra te on h elp in g the team w hile improving their own skills. holding company for Bank of Eastern Oregon, which operates 11 branches in six eastern Oregon counties.
