A Healthy Competition With Sportsmanship

By Jeffrey Martin


Sports have been known to provide a healthier lifestyle to does who engage in it. Apart from all the health factors, sports are fun and an enjoyable experience for all. Especially when playing a sport built on teamwork. Whether it is football, baseball basketball, fast pitch, flag, football, golf, martial arts, lacrosse, soccer, slow pitch or volleyball. It is always fun when playing with a group of other individuals and you are up against another group who is willing to work together just to gain victory and that is the reason why USSSA Tournaments exist.

For one to do pursue a career in sports one must be skilful, motivated, and must uphold the principles of sportsmanship. In a group sport, one would near more than just skill to win, one would need to build up a strong bond that becomes the foundation of a great team.

However, competing with others will never be fun if your goal is to boast your ego and play on your own terms leaving your team behind. A team is built for a reason that each one serves a great purpose that will lead the entire team not just you, to a well earned victory.

And if you enter a tournament with your team but all you are thinking about is self validation, to be known as the best of the best than maybe you should try sports that does not need a team. After all if your only thinking about winning on your own then it almost seems like you are only bringing along your team as an ornament, will not get you anywhere.

Though everyone is aiming for the overall price, but most teams in the tournament also want to grasp that sportsmanship vibe in the air and enjoy themselves while they are trying to reach the gold medal by the end of the tournament.

Competition is after all a way for at least to show the full extent of their athleticism and team coordination. It is not about boasting what you have accomplished on your own so far, but letting everyone know what you have developed together as a team.

Most of the ones who are easily defeated in the tournaments are the team who does not play well together, the most important thing with playing together is knowing when to depend on your team mates. Such as in basketball and football. You have to know when is the right time to pass the ball to a teammate.

It is okay to believe in yourself, but too much of something good can also be bad. Too much self confidence for yourself and not a smidge of recognition to the efforts and the ability of the teammates is not a good characteristic and will surely lead you to nowhere, because without the team, you would not be even there in that tournament thinking that you are above everyone else. Just be a little bit humble and depend on the ones who also depend on you.

It does not matter how skillful you are as a solo player, if you are competing in a team learn to be part of the team. Even though you are the most reliable player, you cannot take the glory all for yourself because ones victory is the teams victory.
