I stumbled upon this article today: an incredible example of good sportsmanship displayed by high school players and their coaches.  If only our professional and olympic athletes showed such character.  I know there are a few examples of good character at the heights of sports, but so many seem to be so fixated on winning that they blur lines that should never be blurred.  This article is an example of honoring the correct lines.

My hope is that our generation can embrace examples like these and strive to live lives of deep character.  I firmly believe that performance will follow, and be sustainable if we put character first in our decision making and day to day behavior.
