 Good Sportsmanship is beneficial to an athlete throughout their life. Athletes that you compete against in High School, you will see again throughout the rest of your careers, in college, road races, in business, and in life.

 Second, take an interest in teammates, and they will take an interest in you. After you have completed your event, it is always important to get around and support your teammates. Having your teammates around the Track cheering you on in a stadium has a major effect on the outcome of the races. The more honor and respect among athletes, the greater the TEAM. The best athletes help others; be best athletes.
