1. Expect respect. You get what you expect when it comes to respect and moral character.

2. Be a role model. Actions and attitudes speak louder than words when it comes to being a good sport.

3. Reinforce good sportsmanship. Good sportsmanship deserves reward and praise.

4. Encourage a wider perspective. Help children see their actions through another person's eyes.

5. Use the language of sportsmanship. Character, integrity, class, dignity, respect, honor, and humility are a few keys words.
