6.       When you are down in the Cafeteria today, check out the new items on the What A Life board.  On the board is a term you may not have heard before.  It’s called Your Digital Footprint. 

A digital footprint is a collection of activities and behaviors recorded when a person interacts in a digital environment. It may include the recording of activities such as system login and logouts, visits to a web-page, emails, texting on a phone, posting on a social networking site like Facebook, and many more. 

Your "digital footprint" specifically describes the trail you leave in cyberspace and on any form of digital communication.  Unlike paper trails, which can ultimately be destroyed or eliminated, "digital paper trails" are recorded and stored forever; there is nothing you can do to erase these records. Trying to hide one's digital footprint is impossible.

What does Your Digital Footprint say about you? 

If you remember the phrase that Integrity is doing the right thing, even if no one is watching, your digital footprint will be a positive reflection of you because you will always be reflecting others in a positive way.

Your Personal Integrity includes how you are in your sports teams, in music ensembles, and in clubs.   Upholding your integrity during competitive and perhaps stressful events makes you a more confident, positive person. 

 

Our Quote this week comes from Vince Lombardi, a National Football League Coach, Hall of Fame Inductee and the person who NFL Super Bowl Trophy is named after. 

 

"It's easy to have faith in yourself and discipline when you're a winner. But if you want to be a winner you must have faith and discipline even when you're not a winner. "

6.       If you're into sports, you've seen it happen. You've probably even experienced it: Football players shaking hands after four quarters of knocking each other around. Soccer players exchanging jerseys after an intense 90 minutes

It seems like competitors in every event, from spelling bees to hockey, behave this way. What's going on?

It's all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handling both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity.

You demonstrate good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges, and other officials.

Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude, and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you. In the last few years, taunting, trash talking, gloating, and cheap shots have become all too common in sports. You've probably seen athletes who celebrate a goal with a prolonged victory dance or constantly brag about their abilities.

This is the exact opposite of what sportsmanship is all about.  

Everyone feels great when they win, but it can be just as hard to be a good sport when you've won a game as when you've lost one. Good sportsmanship takes maturity and courage — when you work really hard at a sport, it's not easy to admit you made a bad play or that someone has more skills than you. In competition — as in life — you may not always win but you can learn something from losing, too.

When you do lose — and it will happen — don't take it out on your opponent, blame the officials, or blame your team. Take it in stride. When you lose, lose with class. Being proud of how you performed, or at least being aware of things you need to improve for next time, is key.

When it comes to losing, good sportsmanship means congratulating the winners promptly and willingly. Also, it means accepting the game's outcome without complaint and without excuses, even if you sometimes might feel the referees made a few questionable calls.

When you win, the trick is to be a gracious and generous winner. Good sportsmanship means acknowledging victories without humiliating opponents, being quietly proud of success, and letting victories speak for themselves
