(1) Meaning of Sports manship... No word is abused than sportsman. Sometimes it is taken to mean a person who plays many games or one who is very thankful at some particular game. Both are wrong. Sportsmanship means the ability to play games in the proper spirit win or lose so as to earn esteem and respect.
(2) True sportsman... We need not say that a true sportsman will never use any unfair means or take advantage of an opponent. He will keep the rules of the game most scrupulously and will expect his opponent to do the same. His will be to see correct and keen struggle, with fair play on both sides. He takes the game quite seriously and does not like to see any half-hearted play. He goes out for a win and pats all his energies in securing victory.
(3) Attitude... At the same times, his attitude to an opponent is always generous. If there is a disputed point, as, for example. Whether a ball was over the line on the tennis court or not, he will concede the point of an opponent rather than argue about it. In fact he will never argue but will accept what is plainly a wrong decision from the umpire with a patient smile. A true sportsman never loses his temper whether it be with opponent or umpire.
(4) Does not show Delight... When he wins, he will be modest and will not show excessive excitement or delight over his victory. The Players who have learnt to accept defeat with calmness are able to win with modesty. The true sportsman keeps his head and remains cool and elaborate when he is losing. As long as there is a chance he will fight on giving away nothing by carelessness. In this way defeat will often he turned into victory. When he cannot do that he should be quiet to glasp the winner and congratulate his sincerely and without affectation.
(5) Honest in Thoughts and Deeds... He is always honest in thoughts and deeds. He is not envious of other players. He shows sportsman spirit not only in the play ground but also in his dealing with others. In the practical life he is most successful. He obeys his officer. He cooperates with his colleagues. He is always ready to help others.
In conclusion the true, sportsman is much the same as a gentleman.
