The spirit is well expressed by a noted author that
“And it’s not for the sake of a rib boned coat,
Or the selfish hope of a season’s fame,
But his Captain’s hand on his shoulder smote –
‘Play up! Play up ! And play the game! ’ ”
Sporting spirit is made up of various elements like fair play,
enthusiasm and a keen desire to win besides generosity to opponents and to keep calm and patience in all circumstances even in case of defeats. Rather, he should sincerely congratulate his triumphant opponent and show no signs of humiliation or vexation.
