Sportsmanship

You are a Rocket when...

  • You have a desire to excel for the benefit of those relying on you.

  • You have an unquenchable need to exceed your past limitations.

  • You play and know, without a doubt, that you competed like a champion.

  • You understand your commitment to your teammates, school and community.

  • You understand that you’re a member of a team sport.

  • You finish playing and only your body leaves the field with your heart
    and soul captured within the game.

  • You will exchange your blood, sweat, and tears for the benefit of the team.

  • You understand the irrelevance of individual awards.

  • You would rather encourage a teammate to success than benefit personally from his mistakes.

  • Your respect for the game outweighs your personal pride.

  • You make mistakes and use them to improve instead of using them as excuses.

  • You do the little things right when nobody is watching.

  • You understand your role and strive to perform it better.

  • You have done all you can and still feel you haven't done enough.

  • You play with pain without creating a scene.

  • Your effort is constant and your play is consistent regardless of the situation.

  • You don't care if you are the one who rises to the occasion for the win, because fulfilling your role, whatever that role is, is most important.

  • You are the best representative of sportsmanship and fair play.

  • You think you can, and so you do!
