They should be supportive of their team in victory and likewise in defeat. Remember, it is just a game and should be fun for all. Spectators will be asked to leave the facility if their behavior does not represent good sportsmanship and respect. THIS POLICY WILL BE ENFORCED BY ALL TOURNAMENT DIRECTORS!! Believe it! Live it! “The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say, or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make of break a company...a school...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact tha tpeople will act in a certain way...we cannot change the inevitable. They only thing we can do is plan on the one thing we have, and that is our superior attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. A superior attitude will produce superior results.” A Superior Attitude AAU District Qualifier AAU District Qualifier
