If Winning Isn't Everything, Why Do I Hate to Lose?

Kelsey's a typical fourth-grader. She likes to hang out with her friends, play games, do all the standard stuff. But there's one thing about Kelsey that really gets her into trouble. She is very competitive, and she HATES to lose. So much so that she is not afraid to cheat, throw a tantrum, or just act like a poor sport in general! And not only is she a sore loser, but she's a terrible winner! When Kelsey's poor sportsmanship or "sportsgirlship," as she likes to call it causes her basketball team to lose a close game, and makes her siblings refuse to play with her, she soon realizes she needs to change her ways. Fortunately, Kelsey's coach and mom are there to teach her the important tips for being a good sport, and winning and losing with class. Kelsey learns that practicing good "sportsgirlship" can help her have more fun playing any game, whether she's winning or losing!
