Interactive Program Created to Instill Values, Heighten Sportsmanship On and Off the Field
PresentsRealSportsmanship
An interactive program on sportsmanship for both players and coaches that has already been shown to help reduce ejections in high school football by more than 60 percent over three years was adopted for use this past fall by the Sun Belt Conference with high expectations that it will have the same positive impact at the college level.
Sun Belt players and coaches must complete the "RealSportsmanship" platform as part of its requirements for competing within the conference. The Sun Belt commitment is for five years.
"Real Sportsmanship," an interactive, reality-based platform, was developed by "Learning Through Sports, Inc.," the latter founded by Brian Shulman, entrepreneur and formerly all-SEC punter for Auburn University in the 1980s.
Shulman, who thought the Golden Rule applied as much in competitive sports as in everyday life, originally developed sportsmanship platforms for high schools in Alabama and later Mississippi. Over three years, there was a significant drop in ejections in both players and coaches.

Training, sanctions called keys to ending poor sportsmanship
In the wake of a fracas between a former Mississippi congressman and a soccer coach, experts point to training and tougher punishment as ways to reduce fights on and off the field.
An atmosphere has come to exist "where emotional outbursts among parents, most of whom are vicariously living sports through their child, is tolerated," said Fred Engh, founder and president of the National Alliance for Youth Sports and author of Why Johnny Hates Sports.
A 2008 survey by SportingKid magazine showed that 76 percent of those responding reported witnessing a coach arguing with another coach, official or parent at a practice or game, and 29 percent had witnessed a physical confrontation involving coaches, officials or parents.
Former 3rd District Rep. Chip Pickering and Chris Hester, who coached the soccer team that competed against Pickering's son, recently exchanged blows after Pickering said Hester called his son "pathetic," driving the child to tears. Hester, who was wearing a neck brace, says Pickering yelled at him and pulled him from his vehicle while Pickering maintains he defended himself because Hester attacked him first.
Each has accused the other of misdemeanor assault, and a trial date is set for Jan. 19.
What happened in this case is minor compared to incidents elsewhere. After a Massachusetts youth ice hockey game in 2002, a player's father beat an opposing player's father senseless while the 10-year-olds watched. The victim lapsed into a coma and died.
