FAIR PLAY: A Coach’s Role
http://bcla.centraldesktop.com/hill/doc/1817020

Everyone involved in sport, from parents and spectators to athletes, officials and coaches, can and should play a part in promoting fair play. And the easiest way to do this is to lead by example; to always respect the written and unwritten rules of the game. It is also essential to learn how to constructively manage stress so that fair play skills and instincts will not be lost in the heat of competition. Here are some examples of how you can incorporate fair play into your sport or recreation activity.
  • As a coach you are a role model and leader, and have significant impact on your athletes’ attitudes. You can:
  • Encourage your team to respect the opposing team and the rules of the game, to accept the judgments of officials and opposing coaches without argument.
  • Teach your players how to manage conflict and stress, and use good judgment in tough situations.
  • Avoid overplaying talented players and allow average players equal playing time.
  • Remember that children need a coach they can respect. Be generous with praise and set a good example.
