Beschreibung:
Alun R. Hardman is Senior Lecturer and Discipline Director in the socio-cultural aspects of sport at the University of Wales Institute Cardiff. His academic focus is on the philosophy of sport and physical education, with particular interests in the area of applied sports ethics and how change and its moral implications impact upon sporting practices and their communities.
This book critically examines the moral aspect of sports coaching and develops a powerful idea of what it ought to be, arguing strongly that coaches must be aware of the ethical implications of their acts.
