Books with title Good Sportsmanship

Sportsmanship examines sporting traditions from around the world and explores the difference between following the rules and being a good sport. How do different cultures and sports define being a good sport? Are there different expectations for professional athletes than there are for amateurs? Exciting and varied case studies are used throughout this book to illustrate issues and concepts.

Whether playing a board game with a friend or playing in a professional sporting event, being a good sport is an important part of competing. Readers will find out why sportsmanship is important and how they can display it in different situations. They are also encouraged to observe sportsmanship in others and reflect on how their actions will make others feel.

Good Sportsmanship Is Fun is a children's book where Badsport Bob cheats and is rude and therefore none of the other Goodness Gracious Club kids want to play with him. Finally, when Bob is reduced to tears because he's all by himself, Jason saves the day by teaching him proper manners in sports. Jason shows him to politely wait his turn, to share encouraging words, and to congratulate his opponent when they do well. Bob finally absorbs these lessons and goes on to practice good manners while playing nicely with the other children who end up throwing him a cake party.

Excerpt from Good SportsHe wasn't a ruthless despot. His daughters were glorious, beautifully kept girls - well de veloped, small-hipped creatures with fine, pink skin, powdered to a velvety texture; nails profes sionally manicured hair always perfectly coified and waved that is, all but Ada's, and she, of course, was still a youngster. Marcus realized that it wasn't their fault that they were girls, pos sessed of feminine tastes, and governed by femi nine instincts. As far as he was able, it was his intention that their perfectly natural desire for raiment and decoration should be gratified.He was not an unafiectionate parent, either. He liked to find his daughters all gathered in the living-room, waiting for him when he blew in from his brisk walk from the elevated, after a busy day down-town; basking by the strong drop lights he provided for them; their noses buried in the pages of the several evening papers taken for their benefit; sleek and smooth as a batch of freshly combed Pomeranians.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
