1. How to be a good player or athlete in Volleyball or Basketball.
Here's five different ways you can make sure you're a good player in Volleyball or
Basketball.
1. Respect. If there's one thing a bad player does often, it's disrespect other players.
WoW is a game where you're meant to play together well, and that's not going to
happen when you ask a warlock for a portal, and then get angry when he can't do it (see
#3 about that). Yelling at people (a.k.a. using all caps when you speak), assuming help,
ninja-ing loot or resource nodes.
2. Help yourself first. If no one can help you, don't just get angry about it-- help yourself.
If you can't find out what do to for a quest . If no one wants to run an instance, find
something else to do, watch the LFG channel, and before you know it, somebody will be
looking for exactly the thing you wanted to do. If you really, really need 1g, just step out
of town and kill a few things until you get it.
3. Know the game. Everyone says this, but everyone says it because it's true. There are
countless resources out there to help you play your class-- read at least a few of them.
If someone does something you've never seen before, nicely ask them about it, and
they'll probably talk your ear off about all the stuff they can do. And if you're in an
instance and you're about to fight a boss you've never fought, let your group know so
they can fill you in on what to do during the fight.
4. No begging. This falls right in with #1, but it's worth repeating. In life or in Azeroth,
don't beg. There are always better ways to get what you want (see #2).
5. Relax and keep an open mind. One of the biggest complaints this week was about
people who were angry because one of the other players wasn't doing something they
thought was right. Warriors dual wielding with daggers?!?Druids tanking instances?!
Priests pulling!? And yet all of these things aren't just possible.
2. 2. Explain “winning is not everything”
Most people, including those in elite sports, would seem to agree with this sentiment.
However, after a bit of reflection, it is clear that most don't in fact believe that this
statement is true. And those who do believe it should change their minds.
First, consider the fact that in sports there is such a thing as a hollow victory. Moreover,
part of the appeal of sports as well as their value is the challenge that excellent athletes
and teams pose to one another. If winning was truly all that mattered, then good teams
should only seek to play fair or bad teams in order to try and ensure victory. But they
don't, at least in part because they are in pursuit of athletic excellence.
Second, winning is only valuable when it is accomplished in the right way. An athlete
who cheats, or who uses banned performance-enhancing drugs (a form of cheating), or
who intentionally injures an opponent in order to secure a victory has done something
immoral, and if such an athlete wins it is a hollow victory
Those who would eschew morality in favor of victory should consider something else
that Vince Lombardi said near the end of his life about the "winning isn't everything, it's
the only thing" quote: "I wished I'd never said the thing...I meant the effort. I meant
having a goal. I sure didn't mean for people to crush human values and morality."
Winning isn't everything, nor is it the only thing.
3. What is sportsmanship and why is it important in any sport?
Sportsmanship is a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean
and handling both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity. This is the reason
why you guys line up after each game to shake the hands of your opponents at the end
of each game… win or lose.
Sportsmanship is important becomes it keeps competition and athletics fair, honest and
friendly. It keeps everyone adhering to the rules
