Development

Fair Play Everyday was developed at the Center for ETHICS*, University of Idaho, with support from KXLY-TV Spokane. Narrated by Tom Grant, an award winning news reporter, Fair Play Everyday has proven to be effective in improving sportsmanship awareness in coaches. Punctuated by humor, amateur actors, professional news writing, and real life scenarios, Fair Play Everyday supports the tenets of  sportsmanship as stated by the American Federation of High School Activities Association and the Idaho High School Activities Association Sportsmanship Manual.

Does it work? 

Most certainly!  In a university study of 450 high school coaches, the video was effective in improving sportsmanship awareness.  For more information about the Fair Play Study, contact Sharon Kay Stoll, Ph.D. or David Hansen, Ph.D.

How does it work?

 The video inspires viewers to think twice about sportsmanship issues.  Rather than rely on long lists of rules and dry, lifeless monotone information from experts, Fair Play Everyday only asks three questions"

     1. Is the behavior or action honorable?

     2. Is the behavior or action responsible?

     3. Does the behavior or action foster or promote cooperation?

Once you see the video, you won't forget the questions...and your interest will be piqued to study sportsmanship more!

The video is available for purchase through the Center for ETHICS*, $29.95. We believe it can make a difference in your school.
