Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.
The most important lesson I've learned from sports is how to be not only a gracious winner, but a good loser as well. Not everyone wins all the time, as a matter of fact, no one wins all the time. Winning is the easy part, losing is really tough. But, you learn more from one loss than you do from a million wins. You learn a lot about sportsmanship.
Good sportsmanship goes beyond the game; it starts with respect.
Sportsmanship is the ethical and moral dimension of sports. It is demonstrated by a number of attributes and attitudes such as fair play, respect for the rules and traditions of the sport and various traits of good character including integrity (abiding by the letter and spirit of the rules and concepts of honor); demonstrated respect for others including teammates, opponents, officials and spectators; accountability, self-control, and graciousness in victory and defeat.
Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
If character is what you do when no one is watching, then sportsmanship is that conduct with everybody watching.
One man practicing sportsmanship is far better than a hundred teaching it.
Struggle and survival, losing and winning, doesn't matter. It's entering the race that counts. You enter, you can win, you can lose .... but it's all about entering the race.
Sportsmanship is that quality of honor that desires always to be courteous, fair, and respectful, and it is interpreted in the conduct of players, spectators, coaches, and school authorities.
Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change.
If you win through bad sportsmanship that's no real victory.
The five S's of sports training are: stamina, speed, strength, skill, and spirit; but the greatest of these is spirit.
Sports is a moral undertaking because it requires of participants, and it schools spectators in the appreciation of, noble things - courage, grace under pressure, sportsmanship.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
Remember that sports are meant to be fun. Don't let someone make the sport unfun for you.
The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
Competition is great for everyone. Sports can teach you so much at an early age, including camaraderie and sportsmanship. Competition aspect is something I've always been big on - I always wanted to compete in something. It was swimming for many years, then I moved on to basketball. I had to find a way to channel my competitive energy, so I'm lucky that basketball worked out for me.
Victories in life come through our ability to work around and over the obstacles that cross our path. We grow stronger as we climb our own mountains.
Sportsmanship is making sure you have respect for the guy you're playing across from.
Follow your dreams as long as you live! Never be afraid to go out on the limb to live up to your expectations. Always do things your way and Have Fun!
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
Good sportsmanship means treating others with respect. I consider myself a pretty good sport.
I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
When champions fail, they get back up and try again. They don't let failure discourage them.
