I only wish this was the norm in sports - and not the exception.... Having been involved in sports all my life, I've seen a lot of the "norm". Being a coach, I've always tried to teach the sportmanship angle, but in this day and age of "winning at all costs", it sometimes wasn't easy. I was truly impressed by the "sportsmanship" or GP, (call it whatever you want) that I witnessed during during our first year in FIRST with 2337 - from our students and mentors as well as those of the all the other teams. It started at Kettering and continued through all the regionals and into the Championships. We need to keep sending and demonstrating this message and maybe, just maybe, it'll eventually get to the rest of the world.

I agree with Jane; this would be a great read for all students involved in any competition.

Kudo's to the Central Washington girls, kudo's to all the FIRST members would continue to demonstrate GP, and, kudo's to the mentors who preach GP day in and day out. Keep it up - you can all be proud.
