70 Style | opinion Keeping Your SideLine StYLe Sportsmanship: fair play, respect for opponents, and polite behaviour by someone who is competing in a sport or other competition. Sledging: the practice of making taunting or teasing remarks to an opposing player, especially in order to disturb their concentration. In April I had the pleasure of attending my third Maadi Cup in the beautiful Mackenzie Country. The event brings secondary school rowers from all over New Zealand together for a week of competition at the highest level. The pride I felt as a mother was not only for my child, but for all children attending. The time, discipline and sheer determination that brought all the competitors to that week was inspiring. It’s often an emotionally charged journey – bringing great highs and lows that challenge both individuals and teams. Another round of seasonal sport is underway, in which we will be faced with varying scenarios of sportsmanship, good and bad. Dreams of sporting excellence can seduce some parents/caregivers and even coaches to completely lose perspective of the really important things in their child’s life – ultimately, they are a child. The genuine will of parents for success for their children can unfortunately blur perspective of what is acceptable as fellow human beings. Sporting tactics are a genuine element of any discipline and great science and methodology provide tooling for further advantage and success. But what if sporting tactics then put an organisation or individual’s integrity into question? Whether we want to believe it or not, there is an undercurrent of intentional “sledging” or “banter” – whatever word you like to label it with – that is brewing within youth and, dare I say it, is being encouraged by some coaches and parents. Condoning these tactics fosters a belief that such behaviour is not only acceptable, but admirable. Ultimately, what message is this sending to our children? Sport should be competitive and there definitely should be a winner and a loser, as that is a life lesson for all. Our children will be applying for jobs and positions that they may or may not be successful in. However, they need to learn how to be gracious in both victory and defeat.
