“
True sportsmanship is excellence in motion!
“
One man practicing sportsmanship is far better than a hundred teaching it.
“
It's good sportsmanship to not pick up lost golf balls while they are still rolling.
“
Sometimes I think sportsmanship is a little bit forgotten in place of the individual attention.
“
You are never really playing an opponent. You are playing yourself, your own highest standards, and when you reach your limits, that is real joy.
“
It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.
“
Win or lose, do it fairly.
“
Champions keep playing until they get it right.
“
It does not matter how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you get up.
“
A winner never whines.
“
I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
“
To play is in the mind. To win is in the heart.
“
Victory is in the quality of the competition, not just the final score.
“
Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation.Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
“
Sportsmanship for me is when a guy walks off the court and you really can't tell whether he won or lost, when he carries himself with pride either way.
“
It is your response to winning and losing that makes you a winner or a loser.
“
I never thought about losing, but now that it's happened, the only thing is to do it right.
“
Every game, you have so many people watching you. You can show good sportsmanship by helping other players up, and not talking back to coaches and referees.
“
Sportsmanship is not just about being nice. It is much more important than that. It's about realizing that you could not compete without an opponent and that she has the same goals as you.
“
A lion never roars after a kill.
“
When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less.
“
Never let a win get to your head, or a loss to your heart.
“
For when the One Great Scorer comes To mark against your name, He writes - not that you won or lost - But HOW you played the Game.
“
Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change.
“
What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player.
“
The only way to prove that you're a good sport is to lose.
“
If you win through bad sportsmanship that's no real victory.
“
There is no such thing as sportsmanship.
“
It is better to know defeat than to know nothing at all.
“
Sportsmanship, next to the Church, is the greatest teacher of morals.
“
Sportsmanship is making sure you have respect for the guy you're playing across from.
“
If you spend a lot of time on sportsmanship, you're going to spend a lot of time losing.
“
There is value in any experience that exercises those ethical restraints collectively called sportsmanship.
“
Thats the beauty of sport. Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry
“
Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is.
“
Don't praise your own good shots. Leave that function to your partner who, if a good sport, will not be slow in performing it.
“
No matter if you win or lose, the most important thing in life is to enjoy what you have.
“
Win or lose, I'll feel good about myself. That's what is important.
“
Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.
“
I would prefer even to lose with honor than to win by cheating.
“
Sometimes you lose. Nothing you can do but admit it.
“
Always imitate the behavior of the winners when you lose.
“
Winning is only half of it. Having fun is the other half.
“
The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.
“
For me, being memorable is more important than winning.
“
What winning is to me is not giving up, is no matter what's thrown at me, I can take it. And I can keep going.
“
Losing is no disgrace if you've given your best.
“
Winning is about heart, not just legs. It's got to be in the right place.
“
The determination to win is the better part of winning.
