[00:00.03] Unit 65 Sportsmanship First or second graders may be more eager to talk about the fun they have in sports. [00:09.47] As they move into more competitive games, kids become more focused on winning. [00:15.18] They often forget to have fun. [00:17.47] Without constant reminders and good examples, they may also forget what behavior is appropriate before, during, [00:25.20] and after a sporting event. [00:28.21] If a child has a coach who cares only about being in first place, the child picks up the message that it's OK to be ruthless on the field. [00:38.33] If parents are constantly pressing them to play better, children get the message that they 're only as good as their last good play -- and they 'll try any method of achieving one. [00:50.45] Adults who emphasize good sportsmanship, however, see winning as just one of the several goals they 'd like their kids to achieve. [00:59.27] The help young athletes take pride in their accomplishments, so that the kids see themselves as winners, [01:06.23] even if the scoreboard does not show the numbers going in their favor. [01:11.33] The best coaches -- and parents -- encourage their kids to play fair, to have fun, [01:17.45] and to concentrate on helping the team. [01:21.08] Remember the saying," Actions speak louder than words"? [01:25.07] That's especially true when it comes to teaching your kids the basics of good sportsmanship. [01:31.27] Your behavior during practices and games will influence them more than any pep talk or lecture you give them. [01:40.22] Here are some suggestions on how to build sportsmanship in your child: Unless you 're coaching your child's team, [02:05.26] you need to remember that not to dwell on who won or who lost. [02:12.46] Instead, you might ask you child," How did you feel you did during the game?" If your child mentions that he or she did not do well at a particular skill, [02:23.50] like throwing or catching, offer to work on these skills with your child before the next game. [02:30.39] Applaud good plays no matter who makes them. [02:34.30] do not push your child into a sport because it's what you enjoyed. let your child choose the sport he or she wants to play. [02:44.15] Look for examples of good sportsmanship in professional athletes and point them out to your kid. [02:50.43] Talk about the bad examples, too, and why they upset you. [02:55.15] Finally, do not forget to have fun. [02:58.15] Even if your child is not the star, enjoy the game while you 're thinking of all the benefits your child is gaining -- new skills, [03:06.29] new friends, and attitudes that can help him or her all through life.
