As someone who enjoys playing sports and who is very competitive, I still realize that it is a game and I am not being paid to play. Basically I practice good sportsmanship and enjoy the experience. Some however find it necessary to use the win at all cost attitude. I have people tell me about this one and that one and what he or she did. Then they see me play hard but with respect for others and ask how I do it.
I am rarely short for words but in this case I just reply that it just comes natural for me to find a balance between intensity and enjoying the experience. It is just how you should act in my opinion in life as well as sports.
So since this is a sports psychology forum I wanted to throw out a question (no pun intended). Do you think in this changing society that good sportsmanship is fading away and if so then for what reasons?
