the player is not behaving in the spirit of games, such things happen to cheat an
official to make poor call.

Responsibility

Coaches and players must take responsibility for their actions on or out of the
field. During a career of sports players often face defeats and most of the times
they have excuse of poor officiating instead of different aspects of game like
their performance, fitness etc. They have responsibility to update themselves Note
from all rules and regulation of their sport. Coaches and players are responsible
for their conduct not only on the fields but off the field also.

Respect

Players and coaches should show respect to officials, opponents, and teammates.
To accept official’s decision at ease is another form of respect. Parents, relatives
and fans should show respect to officials and players of other teams

Sports offer the chances to learn ‘what team work’ is, beginning with getting to
know people well over time. They offer skill building, ethic development,
and the benefit of regular exercise. Through sport children do learn how to
win and lose graciously and handle disappointments.

For example a girl used to play football. She learned from the children involved
in her football team how to stay positive, when things do not work out during
play. However, by observing she also learnt that few people manipulate rules for
their benefits.

She loved football, studied it, and wrote about it . She observed the sports a lot
like LIFE. There were moments of unfairness and happenings, a player could
not control. She chose to focus on what she could control, on her attitude and
efforts. Learning to live life through playing sports is the gift she got from sports.
Sports do inculcate ethics and values.
