Showing Good Sportsmanship

Hey kids, it’s dad. Today want to talk to you about something I saw during the 2018 Winter Olympics. I was watching the medal ceremony of the women’s hockey. An amazing match between Canada and United States. Both teams have been rivals since the dawn of time. Hockey in Canada go hand-in-hand like peanut butter and jelly. This gold-medal match was a meeting of equals. The winner came down to a shoot out in overtime.

Sadly the thing that will be remembered most is the medal ceremony where one of the members of team Canada took her silver metal off again disgust. I have no idea what was going through her mind but it really showed poor sportsmanship. There’s a huge huge difference between disappointment and disgust.

Kids be good Sportsmens. Celebrate those who win. Thank those who lose. Not everybody can win. You will not always win. There will be setbacks. But how you play on and off the field is being watched.

Everybody notices!!

Being a good sportsman isn’t just about playing sports it’s how you handle life. Celebrate those who win! I said it once in an earlier video “noticed who is not clapping when you win“ make sure to clap for everyone!

TommyLog: Give it all away!

Reading an article of a Canadian couple who gave every cent of their $11.2 million dollar lottery jackpot away. They first took care of family and then donated it all to charity. WOW what selfless people and ones that really set the bar for service.

The world has a lot to learn from this amazing couple!

Thank You AT&T!!!!

I have had some amazingly great interactions with AT&T’s customer service over the past 2 weeks. I know its glamorous to dog pile on AT&T these days with regards to iphone issues, but right now I could not be happier. Today AT&T deleted over $90 in Canadian data usage. WOW I’m just so impressed with them.

Welcome to the United States

I’m such a softy. Ultimate softy. I have no idea why I am the way I am, but when the customers agent said “welcome to the United States!” I got teary. Maybe its all the time away from home and missing my family, maybe its pride, but one thing is it’s not any less pride and love for my great hosts here in Vancouver. I love Canada, make no mistake, but my home is my home and I miss it so.
