Back in the day, the coaches of coaches was known as Knute Rockne. He was the head coach of Notre Dame's football team and during his leadership he lead the Fighting Irish to 105 vicotries and only 12 loses during a span of 13 years. This included 6 national championships and 5 undefeted seasons. He was nationaly known as the best coach in the college game. He was a very powerful and popular coach or his time period. While coaching Knute Rockne was created for giving this quote.
"One man practicing sportsmanhip is better than a hundred teaching it."
What do you think he meant by this statement, and granted it is a football coach talking about football, but how does it relate to our life and our life within this school? How can this statement be associated with, lets say Character Counts?

I think he's talking about how the best way to teach is through examples. I'm an older brother and am constantly reminded that I have to be an example for my siblings. I look up to my father and follow his example in life all of the time. Good examples build good people of character if they are followed.
Knute Rockne meant that one person doing the right thing is better than hundreads teaching the right thing. Teachers can try to teach students the right thing to do but the only way it will ever effect the world is if the students truely do it. Don't stand with the crowd, stand up for what you believe is right.
