Could there be a timely topic with what has occurred recently in the sports world? Is the aggression brought out and encouraged in many sports in conflict with good sportsmanship?

Choose Civility Symposium
THE BALL'S IN YOUR COURT:
Can Civility and Sports Coexist?
October 9, 2014

Adult behavior exerts a profound influence on children’s success in sports. It can make or break a student athlete’s performance. Is the pressure to win, the competition for scholarship dollars, and mounting aggression on the court and field eroding the time-honored code of good sportsmanship? What does it really take to succeed in today’s sports environment?
Whether you are a fan, parent, coach, athlete, or interested observer, join this fascinating discussion exploring teamwork, leadership, role models, sportsmanship, and competition, featuring NPR’s Korva Coleman in conversation with:
- former NFL star (and Baltimore Colt) Joe Ehrmann,
- sports psychology expert Amanda Visek from George Washington University,
- Mt. Hebron High School Athletics and Activities Manager Jeannie Prevosto, and
- Winston DeLattiboudere III, a student athlete from Howard High School.
