The Art of Spotsmanship

There is a motto that most of the local government units in my country are trying to implement during the summer vacations time that is April to June.  This motto goes "Say NO to drugs and YES to sports". This also became a program in the LGU unit to promote sports in order to keep the young people from engaging to addictive drugs. When a person is not busy in something he has all the time to think of his or her own things,that is selfishness and one of the effect of this is drug addictions. Due to bad company many innocent young people are engage to illegal drug addiction. And precisely due to this reason the local government units in every city promotes the summer sports league. These sports were swimming, badmintoon,volleyball,basketball,tennis,football,soccer,chess,baseball,sepa takraw, and boxing.

Today we had a  women's volleyball match. This match had been a way for us to learn better on sportsmanship. These are amateur players mostly so we had to teach and be patient with each other in order to have a better game. The end if the game is not to win but to gain more friends and to know more about each other. After the game we ask everyone to write their unforgeyable experience during the day and what they lean from it. One of the m write " Ang magaling na player at mapagkumbaba" which is translated in English as "A good player is not proud of her skills". This is precisely the true spirit of sportsmanship.Humility,acceptance and try again and again.

Sportsmanship can also be applied in our daily life. A sportive fighting spirit never gives up even in the most difficult situation. A sportive fighting spirit never give in to the wrong. A sportive fighting spirit continues to fight until her last. A sportive fighting spirit never tires of getting up and start all over again. A sportive fighting spirit never tries to think that the fight is enough. A sportive fighting spirit never step upon the other in order to reach the top.
