When I attended my son’s sports day last week, I witnessed a lot of good sportsmanship, which got me thinking: How often do we display and appreciate good sportsmanship at work? Do we always respect our competitors, both external and internal? (when resources are scarce, there inevitably will be internal competition) Do we engage in fair play in our business practices? Do we handle both success and failure with grace? Do we truly display team spirit, going beyond collaboration to foster support and mutual respect? I hope reflecting on these questions can help us bring the principles of sportsmanship into our professional lives, creating a more positive and productive work environment. (If you have examples of good sportsmanship at work, please share them!)

A Powerful Lesson in Sportsmanship and Values. Remember the inspiring story of Kenyan runner Abel Mutai and Spanish athlete Ivan Fernandez? As Mutai approached the finish line, he became confused and stopped, thinking he had won. Fernandez, right behind him, realized the mistake and selflessly pushed Mutai to victory. When asked why he didn't take advantage of the situation, Fernandez replied, "My dream is to create a community where we help each other win." He added, "I didn't let him win; the race was his." This remarkable display of sportsmanship and integrity teaches us a valuable lesson. In our pursuit of success, let's not forget the importance of honesty, ethics, and kindness. By passing on these values to future generations, we can create a more supportive and compassionate community. As Fernandez so eloquently put it, "What would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor in that medal?" Let's strive to win with integrity and honor, and celebrate the beauty of a helping hand.

Working well with teammates and coaches is one of the biggest parts of being an athlete, especially at the youth level, and that all starts with sportsmanship. Some of the pillars of sportsmanship are empathy, respect and fairness, and if an athlete meets these it can uplift themselves and everyone around them. The benefits go far, including self-esteem, teamwork, resilience, community sense, reduced aggression, and promoting inclusivity. It also can help in the recruiting realm as coaches seek players that can add to their team’s culture. As a sports parent, how can you help your child’s sportsmanship improve?
