Sportsmanship - A Great Learning

Yesterday (from posting date) I played a badminton tournament. It lasted for two days and all the players had a great time. Especially me. I won the Boy's Single and Mixed Doubles Plate and I was pretty happy about it. For me, this was the second tournament of the year. During the period of these two days, I have increased my understanding of sportsmanship deeper. I saw these great players that were much better than me, and how they got really annoyed whenever they missed a shot or made a misjudgement and some players that lost, didn't show respect at the end of the game. I suddenly realised, "Why are you doing this? You played great and it was a good game." I came home straight away and searched the definition of sportsmanship.

Sportsmanship. The Google definition of sportsmanship is 'fair and generous behaviour or treatment of others, especially in a sporting contest. "he displayed great sportsmanship in defeat"'

Fair and generous behaviour towards others. The example that Google gave was "He displayed great sportsmanship in defeat". I do not believe that sportsmanship is only being respectful in defeat, though it is, there is much more than that.

My definition of sportsmanship is being mindful of who we are and the people around us. To be a grateful winner and loser and not a sore loser and a bragging winner. To show respect not only off the field but during the game as well. Some may know that I play badminton. An example of showing sportsmanship is just lifting up the net so that your opponent and their coach can go under without struggling. There are countless other ways to show sportsmanship. Like if you are watching a game and one of the players is injured, you could lend them your ice pack or help them up.

Another important thing that some people don't do, is before a match say good luck or give them a high five and after a game, look at them in the eyes and give them and a good handshake.

Some people are also sore losers. This is the Wikipedia definition of a sore loser. "One who complains or blames others for their loss; one who is easily angered by losing a game or contest."

Blaming someone else for your misfortune or getting angry because you lost is not displaying sportsmanship. It just means you that need to work harder and next time beat them.

You can learn a lot from sports and at the same time have a lot of fun! Even though sometimes you may have arguments, you must remember, sport is only a game.

昨天（从发布日期）我参加了羽毛球比赛。它持续了两天，所有的球员都度过了美好的时光。特别是我。我赢得了男子单人和混合双人板，我对此非常高兴。对我来说，这是今年的第二场比赛。在这两天的时间里，我增加了对体育精神的深入理解。我看到这些比我强得多的伟大球员，以及他们在错过一次投篮或做出错误判断以及一些失败的球员在比赛结束时没有表现出尊重的时候非常恼火。我突然意识到，“你为什么这样做？你打得很好，这是一场精彩的比赛。”我马上回到家，搜索了体育道德的定义。

体育道德。 Google对体育道德的定义是“公平和慷慨的行为或对他人的待遇，特别是在体育比赛中。 “他在失败中表现出很棒的体育精神”

对他人公平和慷慨的行为。谷歌给出的例子是“他在失败中表现出极大的体育精神”。我不相信体育精神只能在失败中得到尊重，尽管如此，还有更多。

我对运动精神的定义是关注我们是谁和身边的人。成为感恩的赢家和失败者，而不是一个失败者和吹牛的赢家。不仅在场上表现出敬意，而且在比赛中也表现出敬意。有些人可能知道我打羽毛球。展现体育精神的一个例子就是举起网络，让对手和教练可以毫不费力地进入状态。有无数其他的方式来展现体育精神。就像如果你正在观看一场比赛并且其中一名球员受伤，你可以借给他们冰块或帮助他们。

有些人不会做的另一件重要的事情是，在比赛之前说好运或者给他们一个高五，并且在比赛之后，在他们的眼睛里看他们，给他们和一个很好的握手。

有些人也是失败者。这是一个痛失败者的维基百科定义。 “一个抱怨或指责他人损失的人;一个因输掉比赛或竞赛而容易激怒的人。”

指责别人为你的不幸或因为失去而生气并不表现体育精神。这只意味着你需要更努力地工作，下次击败他们。

你可以从体育中学到很多东西，同时也有很多乐趣！尽管有时你可能会有争论，但你必须记住，运动只是一种游戏。
