The Six Roles: this part focuses solely on the player, the coach, the fan, the parent, the official, and the media member, examining the specifics of how each role facilitates sportsmanship during the course of competition.
Deep Dives: this part features distinct discussions on topics pertaining to sportsmanship, such as the desire to win above all else, specific fan psychology, and the cancel culture.
Case Plays: various situations are presented for the reader to consider and apply the tenets of sportsmanship.
