How You Play The Game

Episode 28: Sportsmanship vs. A Good Sport

In this episode, Jack takes a look at the misnomer of someone "being a good sport" when competition doesn't really play a role.  This leads into an examination of the right to say "no" to situations that aren't comfortable.  It's a great look into the human psyche and how people are quick to go with the crowd!  Keep this great conversation going!  Visit us at www.osipfoundation.org.  Email us at podcast@osipfoundation.org.  Comment on social media at www.facebook.com/osipfoundation and Twitter @osipfoundation #howyouplaythegame.
