(Pleasantville, NY) – May 2010 is Sportsmanship Month as part of Kapatid Martial Arts Academy’s POWerful Words Character Development program! Students will be studying, developing and experiencing powerful life lessons focusing on how to hone their sportsmanship skills in a fun and positive way that works for everybody. In addition to all of the physical skills that they’ll be developing this month, students will be discussing and practicing the following concepts that will help them to understand and appreciate the value and benefit of showing sportsmanship in all aspects of their lives. Students will be focusing on the following topics both in and out of class:
- Playing by the rules: How can I be safe and fair?
- Competitors and spectators: How should we act?
- Winning and losing: How can we do both graciously and respectfully?
- Dealing with the outcome: What can we learn for next time?
“Sportsmanship is usually associated with ones attitude while competing in sports. However, good sportsmanship is important in all moments of competition.” says Dr. Robyn Silverman, Kapatid Martial Arts Academy’s child & adolescent expert, and creator of the POWerful Words Character Development program used at the facility. “Whether its how a child reacts when he scores higher or lower than his brother on a test, how he plays a board game with his friend, or whether he chooses to cheat or follow the rules in sports, sportsmanship is necessary.”
Patrick Consing, Executive Director of Kapatid Martial Arts Academy says, “Sportsmanship is a key attribute to becoming a powerful leader. As our students work on their sportsmanship here at our school this month, they will most certainly benefit here, at school and out in the real world – which is the real goal of our programs. They’ll develop the life skills to successfully build friendships and relationships that can last a lifetime. We’re confident that by helping our students hone this skill, we’ll be helping build tomorrow’s leaders…TODAY! We’re proud to be surrounded with strong, kind, talented and disciplined students and are honored to help them develop themselves for a future filled with success.”
Kapatid Martial Arts Academy’s strong curriculum and the POWerful Words Character Development system provide our students with the opportunities to become UNSTOPPABLE in life. These lessons will remain with our students for life and we’re honored to help them achieve the success that they deserve” says Consing.
