What does "brave in the attempt" mean? Does it mean machismo, or being a daredevil, or taking foolish risks? NO! "Brave in the attempt" means no matter how many times you fall, you get back up and keep going! It means that no matter how far behind you are, you still keep going without let up. IT means you give your best no matter how you finish. It means you finish no matter what. It means you don't give up, give in or quit before time is up!
It also means sportsmanship!! Brave in the attempt means you show good sportsmanship NO MATTER WHAT!!! Cursing, arguing, fighting, yelling, and insults are no being brave in the attempt. Being arrogant about your win in not being brave in the attempt either!
Brave in the attempt means you give it your all without holding yourself back just so you can get an easier competition. Sandbagging and cheating are NOT brave in the attempt. Sandbagging is a form of cheating anyways since you are cheating you competition by holding yourself back in a trial event. Is taht being brave in the attempt?! I think not. Taking drugs to enhance performance is not brave in the attempt, not is haveing a bad attitude. Leave it to the coach to argue with the officials!
MAny years ago at a district softball tournament, one of our teams was NOT being brave in the attempt! Almost all of them were crying like babies and WOULD NOT EVEN GET UP TO GO TO BAT! They gave up too soon. One of thier players threatened her coach with a bat! Another player was cursing up a storm and pounding on the fence, THier coach said that even if they got invited to the state games, they were not going! That kind of behavior is NOT brave!
