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 |
