EDITORIAL Every athlete has the desire to win, but not everyone can be a winner on the day of competition. Not being able to achieve the goal you have worked hard for can be devastating. However, once you practise good sportsmanship, you will understand that winning with grace is just as important as losing with grace. Demonstrating good sportsmanship is important for everyone involved in sport. It involves respecting yourself, your teammates, coaches, game administrators, your opponents and even the spectators. When we practice good sportsmanship, we demonstrate that respect is an integral part of sport. By showing respect for each other, we encourage

kindness, and fair play. Once again, the Jamaica Anti-Doping Comission (JADCO) has commenced another series of Junior Athletes Anti-Doping Education Workshops and we will continue to expose junior athletes and their support personnel to values-based education. JADCO encourages athletes and their support personnel to strive to preserve the values that are associated with sport as they work hard to achieve their respective goals.
