As sport has become more intense, professional and commercialized
so have the debates grown about what constitutes acceptable
behaviour and fair play, and how to encourage and develop 'good'
sporting behaviour, particularly in children and young people. This
book explores the nature and function of values in youth sport and
establishes a framework through which coaches, teachers and
researchers can develop an understanding of the decision-making
processes of young athletes and how they choose between playing
fairly or cheating to win. The traditional view of sport
participation is that it has a beneficial effect on the social and
moral development of children and young people and that it
intrinsically promotes cultural values. This book argues that the
research evidence is more subtle and nuanced. It examines the
concept of values as central organizing constructs of human
behaviour that determine our priorities, guide our choices, and
transfer across situations, and considers the value priorities and
conflicts that are so useful in helping us to understand behaviour
in sport. The book argues that teachers and professionals working
with children in sport are centrally important agents for value
transmission and change and therefore need to develop a deeper
understanding of how sport can be used to encourage pro-social
values, and offers suggestions for developing a curriculum for
teaching values through sport in differing social contexts.
Spanning some of the fundamental areas of sport practice and
research, including sport psychology, sport pedagogy, practice
ethics, and positive youth development through sport, and including
useful values and attitudes questionnaires and guidance on their
use and interpretation, this book is important reading for any
student, researcher, coach or teacher with an interest in youth
sport or physical education.
