SECTION FOUR: Ethical Decision-Making in Sport and Physical Activity

Power Point:

Any individual who is placed in a leadership role in a physical activity and/or sport environment will frequently be required to make decisions based on ethics. (For example: Who should get more playing time? Should this individual take part in this activity based on their injury/health? Does this situation require discipline? Etc…)

The above Power Point contains ethical considerations for coaches (and sport leaders such as recreation co-ordinators, fitness class instructors, etc.) and some Sport Ethical Dilemmas to consider.

7 – Explain, in your own words, how you would respond to the Sport Ethical Dilemma on slides 6 and 7. Be sure to include your decision making process and your reasoning used to back up your final decision. (Consider you have the participant and their parent heavily pressuring you to allow the participant back into the activity… you need to back up you decision)
