It is okay to fess up.
There are some competitors that we face, no matter the sport, we dislike them so much we want to….
Well you know.
But for those of us who competed at a very high level, that feeling is fairly rare.
Most of the time we have a lot of respect for our opponent because we are making history with them while others sit on the sidelines and watch and life passes them by.
Not you.
Not your opponent.
So good sportsmanship is far more common that not and there a number of reasons for that.
Great female sports persons abound and one of them that stands out and who is easy to love is the gorgeous tennis babe Caroline Wozniacki.
Just look at her.
Wow.
Caroline Wozniacki is a Danish professional tennis player. She is a former world No. 1 on the WTA Tour, having held this position for 67 weeks.
She was the first woman from a Scandinavian country to hold the top ranking position and 20th overall.
From her WTA debut in 2005, she improved her year-end ranking each year until finishing on top in both 2010 and 2011.
Caroline has won 25 WTA singles titles, including six in 2010 and 2011, the most in a year by a WTA player from 2008–2011.
In 2008, our beautiful princess won the award of WTA Newcomer of the Year.
In our competitive female grappling industry one of the most enjoyable Fem Competitors is Penny of San Francisco.
Whether she wins, loses or talks during the entire match, she is a good sport. That’s what makes watching her matches so much fun.
Here are two at http://grapplingstars.com/fvsf-wrestling-videos/
Penny Barber vs Rain DeGrey, San Francisco East Bay Event. Penny Barber has emerged as one of the top wrestling stars in Nor Cal. Here she takes on a very tough Rain DeGrey who comes into this match very confident. It turns into a ground war in front of a live audience with lots of intense action. Two very sexy girls in all out grappling action.
Penny Barber vs FeFe: These super sexy Nor Cal beauties have met before in a competitive struggle on video with another company so when they meet again here it could be an all-out war. Both have plenty of matches under their belt so there are no novices here. FeFe has some of the strongest, most shapely and beautiful legs you’ll ever see. Penny is a curvy mom who took to the mats with gusto having wrestled for many companies. Who will win in the rematch? Order this sexy match and find out.
Good sports are all over the world.
Another match that demonstrated good sportsmanship in a very competitive environment is found between Siberia from the Czech Republic and Scorpion from the United Kingdom.
This is one great match.

Being a great sport in competitive matches should be the norm and it is in us, sometimes we just need to be reminded as to how to demonstrate it and more important, why we should.
We have an intriguing female writer who is very good and explaining why is great to be a good sport in a very competitive environment, especially for the young.
Please enjoy.
BEING A GOOD SPORT
Good behavior is just as important at sporting events as it is any other time. Being kind and considerate of others’ feelings makes the experience of attending a game a positive one for all involved. (Plus, when we make our players feel good about what they are doing, they are much more likely to perform well — and maybe even win — than if we make them feel bad.)
Language:
Having a strong repertoire of the language we expect and desire from our children empowers them to do the right thing. Here are some suggestions for positive things we can all say at sporting events. (A positive tone of voice is important — each of these can be turned into a negative by a negative tone of voice; so, modeling includes positive voice tone.)
- “Good hit!” “Great kick!” “Way to go!” “Good game!” “Well done!”
- “Good effort!” “Nice try!” “Getting better!” “That’s OK!”
- “Ooo that was close!” “Almost!” “We’ll get ’em next time!”
- “Dig deep!” “Don’t give up!” “Go, ___!” “You can do it!”
Exercise:
We can turn sporting events on TV into character development opportunities. Before watching a game on TV, discuss positive cheers and take turns with your children naming positive things to say during a game.
Keep score, mark each time your child makes a positive cheer, and reinforce them with “great, cheer!” or “way to be positive!” If your child slips up and says something negative, say, “Oops! How could you turn that around into a supportive cheer?” And then give your child a high-five and a “good job for turning that around!”
At the end of the game, tell them how proud you are, “look at ALL the positive things you came up with to say.” To further reinforce the positive aspects, ask: “How did it make you feel? Did it feel different when you accidentally said something that wasn’t positive?”
Car Talk:
Have a conversation with your child about behavior at sporting events. Ask what behavior they enjoy being around and what they don’t. Ask how the various behaviors they describe make them feel — and how they might make others feel. Ask what the consequences might be if everyone behaved well (or poorly) at sporting events. Talk about how proud it makes you feel to see them behaving kindly. Ask them how it makes them feel when they behave kindly to others. Ask them if they think their teammates can perform at their best if the people around them are yelling negative things at them.
A Note on “Blaming the Ref”
It is easy to blame the ref when things don’t go well for our team, but the ref’s job is important and is probably the most difficult one of the game. Who, really, can keep their eye on EVERYTHING that is going on from ALL ANGLES at one time? No one. They try to be fair. We need to keep that in mind and explain that to our children as well.
Be patient, and be as consistent as possible. The rewards in good behavior are well worth the effort.
