What are some examples of good sportsmanship you try to promote among your coaches and teams?

"I tell my team to keep their chins up and always show good sportsmanship. Shake hands, acknowledge and compliment your opponent's performance, and never be petty. Don't argue, antagonize, intimidate, or bully. That's a losing strategy."

"I tell our teams that attitude is everything. You can't put your all in and achieve something great without the right attitude. Also, you have to support the team, which means supporting each other through your failures and successes. It is the effort that counts. This includes trusting the judgment of your coach and your referee. Winning is a state of mind."

This is another opportunity to touch on your athletic philosophy and how teamwork and good sportsmanship play into it. Offer any real-life experiences you've had where you have corrected poor sportsmanship, whether it be your coaches or players, and encouraged a good-sportsmanship culture, and how that aided your athletes' performance.
