Rap Point 2
The Attributes of a Good Sportsperson
The attributes of a good sportsperson are many.
To be a good sportsperson, your body needs to be fit.
You need to train for six hours a day and stay healthy.
Co-operation, being a good loser and playing fair are important when you want to be an
athlete.
Supporting others, whether they win or lose, is also important.
You have to set goals and have lots of courage, perseverance, commitment and positive attitudes, to succeed.
Profile of Diving+
In competitive diving, divers acrobatically jump into the water from different heights. The water must be at least five metres deep.
Divers perform a range of dives with somersaults and twists from various starting positions. Dives may be forward, backward, reverse, inward, twisting or arm-stand dives.
Men and women can compete in the one metre and three metre springboard events. They can also compete in the synchronised diving springboard event and the platform and synchronised platform events.
The springboard is a flexible board and has spring. This helps the diver to bounce high enough to do somersaults or twists. The platform is a non-spring board, where the diver has to make the spring themselves.
One announcer, five judges and a referee are needed to run a diving competition.
Thank you for reading our response to Rap Point 2. We are looking forward to Rap Point 3.
