In the Spirit of the Game: Sports Conduct and Fair Play

This Australian production takes a brief look at the importance of exhibiting good behavior in competitive sports. A narrator covers topics including the definition of proper sportsmanship (offering bad examples to contrast with good etiquette like shaking hands), codes of conduct (controlling one's temper, and the importance of rules for players, coaches, officials, and spectators), being a team player and modest winner (and graciously accepting defeat), and guidelines for successful conflict resolution (such as staying calm during heated situations). Featuring various scenarios, tips, and commentary from rugby referees Nigel Owens and Natalie Amor, Aussie pro basketball player Daniel Dillon, and Melbourne Heart football player Mate Dugandžić, this is recommended.
