The Rooster® Sportsmanship Award is an accolade awarded to an individual that displays qualities that embody the Rooster® Core values:
Inspire, educate and facilitate access to the freedom of being on the water #InYourElement
This could be any person at any level within their sport or even an individual who simply goes above and beyond for their sports community at certain world sporting events: The RS Games and SailGP Inspire.
The individual winner will be decided by the event organisers and referrals from any of the event attendees. We will liaise with the organisers to find the winner, who will then be fully Rooster kitted out and supported by us for a year. We will share their unique achievements with our community and keep spreading the message that good sportsmanship is what makes everything we do so worthwhile.
There is absolutely no specific trait that this winner might have, some examples of what we will be looking out for are:
- Ability to include and involve other athletes or competitors who otherwise seem left out
- Helpfulness at the event: whether a box carrier, organiser, participant, parent or struggling car parker needs a hand
- Environmental consciousness, reusing cups and containers, recycling, collecting rubbish out the water whilst waiting for racing to start
- Trolley/trailer getting or putting away
- Less focused on their position in the fleet or winning than they are enjoying the event with old and new friends
- Assisting with any form of rigging
- A humble and helpful presence consistently across their event, there to enjoy and be a proactive part of their sporting community
