sportsmanship award
Integrity over winning
A sportsmanship award recognizes an athlete or team for fair play, respect for opponents, and gracious behavior in competition—qualities valued alongside or apart from winning.
The award honors conduct rather than performance: She never won a championship, but her sportsmanship award meant more to her parents.
