Fellow forumites, I need some help to get some links to accumulate reading material for my daughter on sportsmanship.

The focus is about how a team displays itself in a unique way in the field of sport. Where they display the true elements of teamwork. Embody the concept of humble winners and good losers.

I have seen so many links placed in the Cowboys Zone over the years of fantastic displays of extraordinary sportsmanship.

Can you help my daughter by clipping or linking in material she can read for her paper?

Thanks to all in advance.

Edit: Another one that comes to mind is Byron Leftwich being carried by his linemen.

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byron_Leftwich#College_career

"He is also remembered for being carried by linemen Steve Sciullo and Steve Perretta, after breaking his shin, specifically the left tibia, and returning to the game, taking Marshall down the field on multiple series as he rallied his team to a 17-point comeback against Akron in November 2002, although Marshall still lost 34–20."
