Monson, speaking in October 1988 general conference, said: "In the videotape produced by the Church and entitled The Church Sports Official, there is featured this truth from the First Presidency: `Church sports activities have a unique central purpose much higher than the development of physical prowess, or even victory itself. It is to strengthen faith, build integrity, and develop in each participant the attributes of his maker.'". . . It is difficult to achieve this objective if winning overshadows participation. . . .
