Sportsmanship is the opposite of toxic masculinity.

— Jessi Roesch

Reflection

Sportsmanship looks like bringing your all while respecting your opponent. Toxic masculinity feeds on domination, entitlement, and the need to “win” every room. If you need someone to control or belittle to feel “valuable,” you’re not leading, you’re performing. Check your tone, your jokes, your impatience, and your need to have the last word. The best leaders and competitors bring the heat without shrinking people.
