   The first step of becoming a good sports player is to believe in yourself beforehand and getting involved in any sport

   .

Be confident before you start anything no matter how much the situation seems to be against you also regardless of how limited the resources are for you to reach your goal.

   When you start up at your sport just ask yourself what can you do to contribute

Even if it seems that you are at the bottom for the time being just ensure to work harder to be better just as every successful person says "I started from the bottom" which brings the appreciation to when a person makes it to the top.

   Regardless of whatever sport you are playing remember to always respect the rules of the game

   .

   Battling rules and also calls will not help you to be a better player for you will always look at things to work your way instead of the way they are meant to be. If a player does not respect the rules then he or she is not a good sports player. This may give a bad image of the player. When people go against the rules then it questions the players love for the game and also the rules of the game which in turn does not look good for the sport as a whole. Also there are players that use steroids to enhance their ability to play the sports which looks bad on players who play the game naturally. Even though steroids help the player to gain extra abilities over others they also have a long term effect on their health in return.

   Even when you are playing your sport it is important to respect your opponents before, during and after your game play with them even though at the time they are considered to be your enemies

   .

   When not satisfied by the outcome of the game it is still respectful for you to give them a high five, hand shake or even the comment of "good game" this is a true show of good sportsmanship. Rivalries especially even though to be a critical game also makes the game very fun and special for without rivals or opponents there wouldn't be a purpose of playing the game at all.

   Coaches are also a big part of a team and if you are not happy with the coaches calls then keep it inside for they are put in that position for a reason

   .

   If you feel as if the coach is being unreasonable and wish to talk to them then do it tactfully instead of the wrong way like talking to them in a different environment to express how you feel but always express how you respect the call but just want to know the cause of the reasoning. Once you hurt the relationship between you and your coach it is hard to get over this dilemma for it will affect you from now till the end of your career and whatever is done with one coach will follow you on record to any other team or coaching staff you are a part of in the future.
