At the Janesville Wrestling Alliance (JWA), sportsmanship is a top priority. We believe that everyone should have a positive experience, regardless of their skill level or background. That’s why we promote a culture of respect, camaraderie, and fair play.
Here are just a few examples of how JWA wrestlers demonstrate sportsmanship:
Shaking hands with their opponents before and after matches.
This is a simple but important gesture that shows respect for the other wrestler and their hard work.
Helping their opponents up after a takedown or fall.
This shows that they are more interested in helping their opponent improve than in winning at all costs.
Cheering on their teammates and opponents alike.
Everyone deserves to feel supported, and JWA wrestlers are always there for each other.
Congratulating their opponents on a good match.
Even if they lose, JWA wrestlers know that their opponents earned their victory.
Showing humility and gratitude.
JWA wrestlers are always grateful for the opportunity to compete, and they never take their success for granted.
JWA believe’s that good sportsmanship is essential for creating a positive and inclusive wrestling environment. We encourage all of our athletes to be good sports and to help us make the JWA a place where everyone feels welcome and respected.
We are proud of the sportsmanship that is displayed at JWA events. It is one of the things that makes our organization special. We encourage everyone to come out and see for yourself what JWA is all about.
