Tuesdays Treasures…Sportsmanship

Congratulations to Luke on winning the silver medal. Good sportsmanship is an important thing for kids to learn... it will come in very handy when they are adults. And I agree with Tommy Hilfiger.

Hello Kathy - congratulations to Luke and to all those participating.  While I wasn't active in Taekwondo, I do understand how competition can build confidence and camaraderie.  

Good morning Kathy. Reminds me of an acronym: TEAM - together everyone achieves more. Competition allows all to grow. Enjoy your day.

Good morning Kathy,

A big congratulations to Luke for winning the sliver medal and all those competing! Teal sports are so important help build confidence, working with team members to achieve a goal and of course sportsmanship! I love the quote from Tommy Hilfiger.

Woo hoo! That is a fantastic accomplishment. Way to go!

Well done Luke, and Kathy you must be so proud. Bill 

Good sportsmanship and competition helps build character. 

You don't get a "participation salary raise" in the real world of business.

Yes Kathy Team sports teaches a lot to the young. However, we have been to games where some of the parents NEVER learned this!

I think sports are a very valuable tool for teaching sportsmanship.  I have a grandson who is a 3rd degree blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do.  I enjoyed watching him compete against others from the western states in Reno, Nevada. He went home with two golds and a silver.  He was best in weapons and forms. This photo was taken when he was about 10.  He had just received his 2nd degree blackbelt.

While watching our youngest grandson compete and practice it was a certainty that at the end of any competition all shook hands and congratulated each other,

Hi Kathy,

 This is a wonderful accomplishment Kathy and I can understand why you are so proud!  It really says a lot about Luke's expertise when he is asked to judge the competition as well.  

My grandson has been learning Taekwondo since he was 5 years old. He is 7 years old and has an orange belt.  I go to some of the award ceremonies for the different levels.  It really is a wonderful discipline to help young people in their development.  There are a lot of women and girls training as well.  I love it!

Kathy winning the silver metal is a big accomplishment and something to be very proud of. 

Hi Kathy I bet your whole family is very very proud of Luke.  Not only for his success winning the silver medal but for also helping judging and being a team player.  Teams build strong leaders!

Congratulations to Luke.

I hope you will make an extra contribution to his college fund.

Kathy you have every right to be proud of Luke, I am confident he will be great as a human being when he is old and you are well I will leave it at that....Endre

Congrats to Luke, silver is awesome!!!  Also, wow to the grandson of Myrl Jeffcoat, 2nd-degree blackbelt at the age of 10!  Not sure how old he is now, but a 3rd-degree black belt sounds pretty serious.  Since I am not much of a fighter, I would enjoy having either of them by my side in case things got ugly, haha.  I like seeing Ninja skills in action!!!

Congratulations to LUKE!!

Congratulations to Luke!  How cool is that?!  Sports teaches our young children many disciplines.  When I used to coach kids, I always felt that sense of responsibility to be a person they would remember as being a good mentor, not just a good coach.  Best wishes to Luke the he has great experiences from coaches!  Love the quotes :) 

Great Post Kathy Streib
