Parents, Coaches and sportsmanship

Well school student,I look at Brett Maher.His father was a Vietnam veteran(1963-1973 war)and is a out and out champion.Yet i know of a parent who is influencing their team playing at someplaces in a restrictive way(and this is 'so' edited by the author not to show any info).Some kids have natural talent,they can usually defy their environment and go on.Those who need to make a bigger effort require good parents and coaches.Some kids self destruct no matter who they are .That starts from the Cot.

I remember school ,one time i was asked in a english essay "What part does Politics play in sport?".Try to answer that one .I couldnt,I was only 16!

BSA has a code of conduct which it may be worthwhile downloading and then checking out a few games to audit parents and coaches adherence to that code.

Don't confuse competitiveness with sportsmanship. Sportsmanship is a direct reflection on the person's general attitude, and a lot of that is respect for oneself and others.

Anyone can come up with a hundred examples of good and bad sportsmanship. A recent post on this forum where one team who should have had white tops, but didn't, asked the other team to use theirs, but they refused is just one example. For every bad example, you could list other examples such as when team managers provide first aid for opposing players, players letting other borrow balls etc. Overall, I feel that the majority of parents, coaches and players abide by the Code and show good sportsmanship by showing respect to their players, team and opponents.

Can I suggest you watch a few games on a friday night and saturday morning, count the number of people that are spectating and try to get a number of those that are critical compared to those encouraging. Although you may find one person do both.

As a coach and a parent I know I have good days and then there are days that I question things, then there are days when I unfortunately lose my cool. I think personality has a lot to do with it. Best of luck with it, I think it sounds like a great assignment.

Are you looking at just basketball, or all sports?
