Student-athletes, coaches, parents and spectators are to keep in mind at all times that the contests in which the student-athletes compete are games. They should be fun for everyone involved. Winning is a worthwhile goal and purpose when viewed in the proper perspective. When doing one's best, enjoying intense competition, and receiving the character building benefits of competition, winning can be a most honorable goal. Activity programs provide valuable lessons for practical situations -- teamwork, sportsmanship, winning and losing, and hard work. Through participation in activity programs, students learn self-discipline, build self-confidence, and develop skills to handle competitive situations.
