There is a similarity between life and sports, Good sportsmanship covers many features of a man’s character : 1) Respect. The good sportsman respects both his teammates and his opponents as equals. 2) Integrity. A win that does not come fairly holds no satisfaction for him. 3) Honesty. Honesty in his dealings with opponents, because he treats them the way he wants to be treated. 4) Unselfishness. His desire to see all his teammates participate and enjoy the game. 5) Humbleness. Humble in his victories, and has the proper perspective on his losses. In short, the qualities that go in to making a good man are the same ones that contribute to being a great sportsman.
