Re: Behavior at the competitions

Straight out: My generation is very rude. From my observations, the ones after mine are becoming increasingly more rude.

I have made an attempt, since I became a mentor, to try to encourage my students not to behave in this way. I constantly drill into my students' heads that every time they are in any way representing the team, they are representing their sponsor, their school, and themselves. To remember this is the best way to truly overcome rudeness and inappropriate behavior, at least in my opinion. When you learn to respect yourself and those whom you represent, you lessen rudeness.
