I'm not trying to be rude, and I am genuinely curious as to how this fits into gracious professionalism. Not saying that my definition is the only definition that works for gracious professionalism either. If you have a different one then I would be glad to learn about it.

We hear this phrase used all the time but what does it really look like for teams. Facing conflict is a relative idea. Staying cool at a regional or worlds is a feat but what about outside of that. For example at the Half Hollow Hills invitational there were a handful of teams that hung around after the final match to watch the awards. Sometimes it is during low stakes situations where it is easy to say "It's not a big deal and no one really expect this" that reveals integrity or gracious professionalism. The conflict is resisting the easy path.
