patience, self-confidence, persistence, sportsmanship, and respect. Additionally, we examined the 6 Pillars of Character Involved in
Sportsmanship as noted in the image below:
Division II small group classroom lessons were supplemented by video clips from Values.com and reflections from “Apple Seeds” (Inspirational, Motivational, Quotes, Blessings, Prayers) as well as content from the Virtues Project.
