Winning is a great feeling, but there are other goals we set ourselves when playing sport. Fair play and good sporting behaviour help make the activity enjoyable for everyone involved. This documentary-style program will explore: what good sportsmanship is, codes of conduct for players, officials, coaches and spectators, being a team player, a good loser and winner, and resolving conflict, using practical examples. We talk with professional soccer player Mate Dugandzic, basketballer Daniel Dillon, rugby referee Natalie Amor, soccer referee Wilson Brown, and international rugby referee Nigel Owens. For middle secondary studies in physical and outdoor education, this production provides valuable advice regarding the benefits of teamwork, mutual respect, and taking personal and social responsibility.
