As I reflect on some of the words in your provided Frequency Map, my initial reaction is that a majority of those words are team or even individual specific adjectives which we as athletes hear daily. Sportsmanship encompasses so much more, and should be viewed in a much larger picture. We as athletes and teammates from the same school, agree during our pre-season preparations to commit to terms like “Teamwork”, “Selflessness”, “Family”, “Spirit”, “Hard work”, and “Leadership”. These are terms that will help OUR TEAM achieve certain and specific goals. One of those goals is to work towards a winning record and advance into a playoff season. Another goal is to learn how to come together as one unit, a team, and make sacrifices for, and rely on, each other. As a High School athlete, I am aware that all my opponents have also committed to similar pre-season Team goals for their school. As we focus on our Team goals and objectives, sometimes we are distracted away from the larger picture. We as individual athletes and the team that we are a small part of, must be willing to sacrifice everything, including individual accomplishments or acknowledgements, even WINS and LOSSES to make sure we compete in a manner that puts positive Sportsmanship first. There can be no excuse made, or acceptance for lack of overall sportsmanship, even if that means we suffer a loss. Every Team within the MIAA is responsible for achieving this larger picture of good Sportsmanship. Our opponents and rivals included must also be willing to sacrifice wins and losses to achieve this greater good of positive Sportsmanship. To accomplish this we all must; RESPECT your opponent, their Coaches, trainers, managers, and that opponent’s entire student body. Play with INTEGRITY. Always doing what is right, no matter what the circumstance, score, or outcome. Play FAIR and with CLASS. Never put the results of a game above the CHARACTER and REPUTATION of your school. This must also encompass our interaction with officials and referees. As in life, this is yet another “life lesson” we as High School athletes can learn through playing sports. Be willing to make sacrifices for our school, team, and teammates. But also recognize that above our school and our team we live in a much larger society. Within that society we need to be good examples. We need to promote, adhere to, and demonstrate positive leadership and good sportsmanship within everything we do. 6 ****SECOND PLACE**** Sportsmanship Elizabeth Wilson Smith Academy The first field hockey practice I ever went to was the most terrifying day of my life. I had just recently learned what the sport was, and was only playing because my best friend was doing it too. I showed up a few minutes after the practice started and I hadn’t gone to any of the summer practices. When I got out of my car, the seniors turned to me and told me that I was late. I was horrified that they were going to hate me because I had held up their practice. Throughout the practice I tried my best, but in my mind I was trying to figure out how to tell my mom that I wanted to quit. After the practice was over, one of the girls came over to me and told me that she was glad that I had joined the team. Her kindness encouraged me to come to the next practice, and the practice after that. I looked up to her and watched every hit and play she made. After every game, she would make a point to complement the younger players and encourage us, even if we lost. Without her words, I probably wouldn’t play sports. I would be worrying about the score and not how we played. I wouldn’t be who I am today. Her leadership and kindness is what I believe to be true sportsmanship. Sportsmanship is not just an idea, it is an action. It is the act of helping, teaching, encouraging, and accepting. A true sportsman has a passion for their sport and compassion towards his or her teammates. They try to help their team succeed through positive actions and words. Sportsmanship in high school athletics is immensely important because teens are frequently exposed to bullying and negativity. This constant negativity from fellow players, coaches, and other teams can really affect how a player performs. The best teams to be are always going to be the ones who show passion and integrity, no matter what their record is like. High school athletics are about developing leadership and positive relationships with others in the school community, therefore sportsmanship is one of the most important aspects of high school athletics. 7 ****FINALIST**** What it means to be a Sportsman Matthew Poutre Oxford High School Sportsmanship can be defined as ethical behavior when participating in a competition, a combination of respect and responsibility. In high schools around the country, student athletes participate in demanding physical activities that aid in building strong character, healthy relationships, and most importantly an expansive sense of respect and responsibility. These two traits best define my perception of sportsmanship, and are the most essential attributes necessary for academics, and the challenges of life itself. Respect is the admiration of somebody who has superior senses of skill and humility. In all sports, players originate from various backgrounds, with varied playing styles and skill sets. In my four years as a dedicated member of my high school Cross-Country and track teams, I have encountered many athletes from across the state who have also committed vast amounts of time and effort to running. The struggle of the race affects all of us, we all face the same challenge and give our best efforts to conquer it. When crossing the finish line, each runner congratulates each other. After the race, no hard feelings remain, just a sense of respect for each participant who gave complete effort to win the race.

    University of Pennsylvania ScholarlyCommons Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations 2013 The Power of Images in the Age of Mussolini Valentina Follo University of Pennsylvania, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations Part of the History Commons, and the History of Art, Architecture, and Archaeology Commons Recommended Citation Follo, Valentina, "The Power of Images in the Age of Mussolini" (2013). Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations. 858. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/858 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/858 For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Power of Images in the Age of Mussolini Abstract The year 1937 marked the bimillenary of the birth of Augustus. With characteristic pomp and vigor, Benito Mussolini undertook numerous initiatives keyed to the occasion, including the opening of the Mostra Augustea della Romanità , the restoration of the Ara Pacis , and the reconstruction of Piazza Augusto Imperatore. New excavation campaigns were inaugurated at Augustan sites throughout the peninsula, while the state issued a series of commemorative stamps and medallions focused on ancient Rome. In the same year, Mussolini inaugurated an impressive square named Forum Imperii, situated within the Foro Mussolini - known today as the Foro Italico, in celebration of the first anniversary of his Ethiopian conquest. The Forum Imperii's decorative program included large-scale black and white figural mosaics flanked by rows of marble blocks; each of these featured inscriptions boasting about key events in the regime's history. This work examines the iconography of the Forum Imperii's mosaic decorative program and situates these visual statements into a broader discourse that encompasses the panorama of images that circulated in abundance throughout Italy and its colonies.

  • Eat Well Play Hard in Child Care Settings New York State Department of Health
    INTERVENTION Eat Well Play Hard in Child Care Settings New York State Department of Health INTENT OF THE INTERVENTION Eat Well Play Hard in Child Care Settings (EWPHCCS) is a multi-component intervention that focuses on improving the nutrition and physical activity behaviors of pre-school age children and their parents/caregivers by using educational strategies and skill building activities to promote healthy behavior change. The intervention also builds social support within the child care environment by including teachers and care providers in lessons and encouraging positive role-modeling and classroom reinforcement of nutrition and physical activity messages. OVERVIEW Through individual behavior change and social support, Eat Well Play Hard in Child care Settings (EWPHCCS) is designed to increase young children’s consumption of fruits and vegetables, encourage consumption of low-fat or fat-free dairy products, increase time young children are physically active, and decrease the amount of time young children spend watching television. The EWPHCCS curriculum contains 10 lesson plans tailored for preschoolers and 10 complementary lessons for their parents/caretakers. The lessons are about nutrition, cooking, mealtime behavior, and increasing physical activity among children. Activities, food preparation demonstrations, recipes, and take-home materials reinforce the learning objectives for each lesson. Annually, the lessons are delivered by Registered Dietitians (RDs) in each of the 15 child care sites across New York State, including four New York City boroughs. Background: The EWPHCCS intervention was developed in 2005 by members of the Nutrition Division in the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) and by the New York State Director of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).
