Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everybody involved in sport, from the bleachers to the boardroom, should develop an understanding of ethics. Sport ethics prompt discussion of the central principles and ideals by which we all live our lives, and effective leadership in sport is invariably ethical leadership. This fascinating new introduction to sport ethics outlines key ethical theories in the context of sport as well as the fundamentals of moral reasoning. It explores all the central ethical issues in contemporary sport: from violence, hazing, and gambling to performance enhancement, doping, and discrimination. This book not only investigates the ethical, social, and legal underpinnings of the most important issues in sport today, but also introduces the reader to the foundations of ethical leadership in sport and discusses which leadership strategies are most effective. Each chapter includes original real-world case studies, learning exercises, and questions to encourage students to reflect on the ethical problems presented. Sport, Ethics and Leadership is an essential resource for any course on sport and leisure studies, the ethics and philosophy of sport, or sport and leisure management.

Download or read book Ethical Decisions in Sport written by Edward J. Shea and published by Charles C. Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 1996 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Doctor Shea guides the reader through the labyrinth of contemporary ethical issues prevalent in sport, he presents, as the chief distinguishing feature of the text, a method or systematic model to deal with the core of ethical issues with which the entire field of competitive sport must struggle - power, and how to ethically manage it; success, and how to achieve it with integrity; conflict, and how to morally resolve it. The model, designed to logically structure thinking, allows one to apply an internal compass to guide them in judgment formation regarding the right ethical decision or action in sports. The method is intended to assist players, coaches, fans, governing officers of national sport organizations, and especially students preparing for careers in the sports field. The book contains thirty-three sport action photographs and interpretative captions which illustrate ethical or unethical actions of players, coaches, officials, and fans. A section of challenging questions and contemporary ethical incidents for discussion use conclude each chapter and will be of special interest to students. The text also provides current codes from four major categories of sport environments with a base of questions relating to application techniques, effectiveness in operation and interpretation.

The collection includes essays familiar sport philosophers on work about the nature and nuances of sports and games playing, winning and losing, role models and strategic fouling. It also celebrates in phenomenological terms the complex and heterogeneous experience and values of sports in both phenomenological and analytic modes. Finally, it addresses the most serious threats to sport integrity and governance, in the shape of doping, and the unchecked power of sports institutions, and the charisma of sport that is at the mercy of commercialism. This book was originally published as a special issue of Sport, Ethics and Philosophy.

Download or read book Action Sports and the Olympic Games written by Belinda Wheaton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a decade of research by two leading action sports scholars, this book maps the relationship between action sports and the Olympic Movement, from the inclusion of the first action sports to those featuring for the first time in the Tokyo Olympic Games and beyond. In an effort to remain relevant to younger audiences, four new action sports, surfing, skateboarding, sport climbing, and BMX freestyle were included in the Tokyo Olympic program. Drawing upon interviews with Olympic insiders, as well as leaders, athletes, and participants in these action sports communities, the book details the impacts on the action sports industry and cultures, and offers national comparisons to show the uneven effects resulting from Olympic inclusion. It reveals the intricate workings of power and politics in contemporary sports organisations, and maps key trends in this changing sporting landscape. Action Sports and the Olympic Games is a fascinating read for anybody studying the Olympics, the sociology of sport, action sports, or sport policy.
