Character Is More Important Than Winning

Watch the video below with youth, then use the questions below to have a mentoring conversation with them.

  1. What did the runner do after winning the first race in the video?
  2. How did people feel about this runner because of his bad character even though he won most of his races?
  3. How do you feel about this runner? Why?
  4. What got him disqualified in the championship race?
  5. Would you rather win and have bad character or lose and have good character? Why?
  6. What do you value the most out of these choices: winning, good relationships with family and friends and others, good reputation, lots of money, fame, a clear conscience, peace of mind, playing professional sports? Why?
